Hi Captain
I really like the look you've got here. This is really cool. If I can ask a question, where did you find the cork ?
Great job
Harry

Hey Blockhaus, another fine structure. However are you sure it's finished? Still looks like cork and plastic. Do you mean construction complete waiting for paint?

Hello to all, thank you for your words
Harry, well, I cannot say with security where to find cork in it USA but you possibly found it in the stores that they sell products to decorate the house: paintings, wallpaper, etc the cork is used as insulating.
Alan, I Consider that the construction phase this completed one, I believe that to show the pieces before painting can be useful to see what materials I have used, the textures, etc
JAsper when I has the pictures of the painted piece I will put it here also
cheers

Blockhaus,
Great structure. Question, when you paint it do you prime the cork directly or cover it first with plaster or other material? Thanks and great luck.
