Hello! here hare the photos of a Normandy house corner painted by my friend and master painter Jaume Ortiz. He painted this with Vallejo Acrilics.
house was made with a combiantion of cork, cardboard and some strips of balsa.

Merry X-mas to all.

Your buildings are simply awesome. There is no other way to describe it. They look better than most kits that are out there. You must have a large investment in the cork industry. Anyways awesome job, I always look forward to seeing your work.

Just out of curiosity, I see the cork pieces, and the balsa work, is the cardboard what you used for the shingles?

Also for us humble followers out there, have you considered doing a tutorial so we can see how you do it?


Cheers,
Salvo

Carlos, all I can say is WOW this is just a beauty. My hats off once again to you and to Jaume. You are both very very talented fellows. Cheers Kevin

Well there is not much to say about it since I guess you already know that its absolutely amazing

What you do with cork and cardboard is always outstanding, keep up the great work!

Best wishes and merry Christmas,

Superb,the different textures look great.

I agree with Salvo , i would love to see a "how to" feature ive allways wanted to try my hand at a building and it would be a great help


Ian

Simply amazing. If you took away the panzerfaust it could be mistaken for someone's house

Amazing work... I am amazzed at what can be achieved using cork..


Dave

It looks great!... Jaume did an awesome job on the house... but what scale is it? The panzerfaust looks a little out of scale..

The building, and the way it's painted, breathe out a great atmosphere !

Excellent creation !!

What a great Christmas presant.

Very nice. Very striking. I love the angles.

Never a dull moment on the Big A, click the next topic and there's another piece that just blows you away. I'll tip my hat to the both of you as well. Very inspirational.

Thanks to all for your kind comments

Ryan, yes, the tiles are made with cardorad,.

Regarding the tutorial, in fact it can be summarized in that you must do first a cardboard structure and later you must glue the different elements in her. they are glued the wooden pieces first and in the space that is among them I glued the cork pieces they are glued that simulate the stucco. The stones are also cork pieces that simulate the stones. s the tiles are simulated with bits of cardboard from a cake box The secret this in designing an architectural detail that has interest is that contains diverse material types with diverse texture types and different colors. This makes interesting a piece. Here Jaume had been able to work with the wood, the stone, the clay and the stucco, besides the grass. in fact the construction of this alone piece take only 3 hours around of one Saturday while it was in the home of Jaume in a meeting of friends, and that includes the time that uses in drawing the project in a paper until it glues the last piece.

JM, the scale is 1/35, this type of buildings has some very low walls and some very high and big roofs.

I just want to say one think : SUPPERRRR

Awesome piece Carlos, as usual.. A German soldier would fit there perfect near that panzerfaust.
