Fantastic work Captain!! .Very impressive!.Can't wait to see it come to life with the paint on!!Just a little something i would add is a support to the little roof over the door(horizontal or vertical )It looks kind of...hazardous hanging like that

Very cool looking. The detail is great. I really like the work around the window frames. I am looking forward to seeing it when it is painted. Thanks for sharing with us.

Hi Carlos,

Splendid building! The decoration above the windows are a really great touch.

I absolutely need to find a source for this plastic sheets you use to construct your buildings.
How is the warp (bending ) of those sheets. Does a 30x20 cm sheet stay straight or do you need to reinforce it?

What i am missing is some sort of overhang for the roof. I would think that you need to use a gutter or make the roof longer but this is no longer possible because of the decorations?!

Cheers
Claude

Hello Folks,
thanks for your attention and comments.
Claude this plastic is Polistyrene, the same with all kits are made.this are sold here in sheets 2X1 mts aprox ... yes meters :-) and are used in variety of purposes mainly in construction or decoration I buy it in a shop that sold industrial products for construction and decoration I think that you need see yellow pages section bricolage here this planks can be buy in portions and came to 1mm to 4mm thick for the mesures that you told me you need a minimun of 2 mm thick.
and about the roof you are rigth, due that is a building for a kit I want that the windows ornamentation will be visible

hope thta this helps

Great building. Interesting combination of logs and plaster.
One thing I am not a fan of is the steps. There is a lip on the front and not on the sides. This looks out of place to me. Not a big deal, just something I noticed.
