Hey Yago, is that a block of balsa foam or is it made using thin sheets to make the four walls? If so can you get it in say 5mm thick sheets?


It looks great.

Hi Ant.

I was searching balsa-foam in internet, and all brands make 10mm thick sheets.
I have used balsa foam of 10mm, becouse the interior will not be seen.
I asked to my friend Ricardo (he buy balsa-foam sheets), and all sheets have 10mm thick.
If you have patient and "hand", you could obtain 5mm thick.

Thanks for looking, asking and posting...

See you!

Yago.

Thanks Yago

As you say if the roof covers the thickness of the sheet it doesn't matter how thick it is.

Think i'll get some and have a play around with it. I need to make a castle ruins some time in the future and this looks like it would be pefect for the job.


CHEERS

Yago, really great stuff!!

I hadn't looked into this build for awhile. Really great work!

I definitely recognize that wall paper. Is that Custom Dioramics?

Anyway, as usual, fantastic!

Thanks for your words Bob.
The wallpaper is of a web. I re-scaled the sample and extracted a sheet.

The website: http://www.tiendadecasitas.com/papeles-cocinas.php
That is not Custom Dioramics.
I hope you like it all.

See you soon.

Here I put the finished cabin with side shed to house the bird cages. I thought it advisable not to leave much overhang on the other side to make it all more proportionate...

Aquí os dejo la casetilla finalizada con el cobertizo lateral para albergar las jaulas de aves y otras bichejos cocinables para el restaurante de la plaza. He creído conveniente no dejar mucho saliente en el otro lateral para que quede todo más proporcionado...

I hope you like this modification of the initial design.

See you! :Hiay

As I saw the roof surface area of ​​access to the terrace was not very real, I retired and left the hole to make a wooden structure where the entire frame then put the roof...

BEFORE.

AFTER.

After noting several times that beret with tiles he had done, I decided to redo the roof of the entrance area to the terrace. The above result did not convince me much...

First roof.

And after taking advantage of the base structure made...

Final result.

... I decided to follow the same pattern I used in building other homes in the diorama, the end result being this...

And viewed from another angle ...

The result is cleaner and care, failing to get treatment setting, texture and color it.

I hope you like it...

See you soon. :Hiay
