Just the normal fantastic work - This is a very creative piece, I love the non-flat aspect (corner piece).

Hey Carlos

Very nice build so far. Can't wait to see it painted. Did you use a picture or just use your brain to get the idea??

Carlos, beautiful work, I like the distressed stonework and especially the wall - well deal.
Are you using Evergreen, or some other plastic product, it looks nice to work with.
I also like very much the thickness of the walls with the attention to the stone and brickwork.
Is this a commercial build or just something you designed for yourself ?
Lets see some more !
Thanks for all your inspiration and the sharing of your techniques.

Hello mates,
thanks for your nice words.
Roel: this piece is my how dessing, but based in real architectonical elements
Cheyenne, I use plastic as Evergreen but I buy it in a professional shop that sold products for make commercial sings. If you need a lot of plastic ( as me) is best came to industrial shops ( sorry I not know best for explain,Home Depot may be?)
and yes this is a master kit for a Italian company.

Hola Carlos
This looks splendid!
Differs for the fact that it is an internal angle building; would make for an interesting diorama...
I assume the front piece of the fountain(?) is loose, as it is not centred?
Great work
Cheers

Truly superb workmanship. It looks like it was done out of actual stonework. What material was the base for this? Thanks for sharing this inspirational piece of craftmanship.

Hi Bradley,
this construction is a master for make copies, no glue only every wall is suported by another wall. fountain must be simetric inside the arch
Mike, I use polistirene plastic , same of Evergreen but I buy in industrial store, this plastic is used for make commercial sings and is sold in very big sheets 1.5X2.5 mts, of course you can buy also only a portion of the sheet:-)

hope that this helps

Carlos -

Thanks, I'll have to look into that though I'm sure I'll go for smaller size sheets. I love the "marble" look that it gives. Thanks again.
