Man I would have never thought of using a towel. It's crazy the things we use in this hobby. Awesome site with lots of great info. I may sit down and build a thatch roof house just for the heck of it.
We should have a competition of things built entirely out of throw away stuff (garbage). See how creative people get.
:-)
Later,
Ryan

Hi Carlos,
nice technique. Is it the one you used on your Playmobil hut ? If so, the result is great.

Excellent tip Blockhaus. Many Thanks for generously sharing that with us. I'm sure a lot of households will be missing a few bath towels.
