this time this work is not exactly for military modelling purposes, but may be interesting due that the thecnic is the same. Is a toy house for a girl at "playmobil" scale. Is made with cork and cardboard as ussual. Hope like it.

Hello Carlos,

Nice little piece. Simple but effective.
What i always wondered, and you may explain it in a few words, how are the manufacturers proceeding to make copies of your work ?
Is it copied in one piece or is this taken apart ?
You are working with all this different materials, i only can imagine that they do not respond equally well to the moulding process.

Cheers

Claude

Hola Carlos,
Excellent piece as usual! What material is the thached roof made from?
Charles

Hola Carlos
I also would like to know this...
And the background- oils?
Cheers

Hello Claude,
for the commercial models each wall needs a mold. this mold is filled with the material that you have chosen (plaster or resin) and already this concluded the process of production. it is a basic and handmade process. Myself manufactures during many years my products, marketed under the label Blockhaus in a small garage.
They can become original with any material, it depends on the texture that you want to obtain, I have worked with plaster , cork, plastic, wood and cardboard with good results. Alone you have to have the caution in some of them of protecting them of the silicone of the molds with vaseline.

Charles , Bradley I do the roof with an old towel and painted with acrylic very diluted.
cheers
Carlos

Very nice as usual...
I love the roof and the use of a towel. A bit to big in scale for 1/35. The creativity is very good.

Hello Scott
this piece is not to 1/35 scale he is a model simplified to play with the Playmobil. I don't know if this company is very popular in the States but here in Spain all the children have a collection: -) its scale is around 1/20.
I would like to share with my colleagues the happiness that was to see the interest that my children followed this model's construction. I believe that it is a good project to share with our small children, it is a good way to introduce them in the world of the construction of models. All the materials also come from the garbage. The walls are of an announcement of a supermarket, the wood of a box of fruits, the cork of the surpluses of a previous project, the towel gave it to me my wife before throwing it, the glass of the window of a blister...

best whises

Wow Carlos, this came at a perfect time, This is the style of building I am wanting to make for my big dio. You have given me lots of ideas and opened my eyes to other methods of creating a thatched roof!!! Thank you very much for sharing. Cheers Kevin
