Interesting design. You always have very unique structures.

Question - what's holding up the or what is the plan for the step area on the left side (the part with the black end in the first photo).

Hi Scott, this work is not finished. I need complete it. I will make a fountain here as this

hope that this drawing helps

I figured you just hadn't gotten totally done yet. You have always had a plan

I like the drawing - it's going to be great.

Just fantastic work.

As an artistic design even, it has so much eye
appeal. A lot more in planning and executing
this kind of scratchbuilt structure but IMHO so
much more interesting that the prefababricated
one that a person can buy as a kit. Sir, you are
very talented. Thanks for including the sketch.

Awesome. I'd love some tips...I'm trying to build houses as well.

Super!

Awesome job Blockhaus. Again you have designed a unique masterpiece. Just out of curiosity do you do architecture work for a living? Your models are simply amazing.

Cheers,
Salvo

Carlos, what to say...BRAVO!!!! Cheers Kevin

Looks great Blockhaus, I like the different levels available for figures.

Hello to all
thank you for your kind comments.

Not ,in my professional life I don't have anything to do with the architecture. Although these works have more relationship with the scenery that with the architecture. I have always liked the old movies of Holywood where the decorators were able to recreate any scenario: a medieval castle, a street of Paris, the African forest inside the four walls of a study. They took elements of the reality and they combined them so that they seemed real, they created an illusion, that is what I try to make me with these pieces. The architecture has some rules the scenery others they sometimes coincide but you sometimes have to force the reality a little to obtain a result.
my two cents

Nice work, Blockhaus. Very promising.
Keep us posted.

Very inspirational ... yet again .... Carlos. Always look forward to your next works.

I noticed you go through stages, where you use different mediums ... cork, cardboard and now plastic. Is this experimenting or do you find better/finer results with plastic? What makes you decide which medium to use .... is it just a feeling or is it the demands of a certain project (ie; for commercialisation) or c) all of the above. Just wondering.
Thanks for sharing!

wow, very good. keep on going wit the job .

what kind of plastic do you use??

Hi Frank I use different materials, it depends of the effect that I´m finding, for rough texture : weathered brick work, old stone wall, old stucco, etc I use cork in differnet levels of sanding, for more modern or fine texture I use plastic with different disolvent treatements... and carboard for funny or for show that with very cheap materials you can obtain very decent results :-)
dierderick:
I use poliestirene plastic, the same that the kits are fabricated. this plastic came in very big sheets for making commercial sings
