Here is my new project. It is three buildings (Bakery- Blue, Hotel- Red, and a Cafe- Yellow). They all share a common wall in between them but in the pictures they are separate. It is based off the town of Rouen in France. I still have a lot of little things to do and of course finish the roof. Right now I'm making the shop signs.

Here is a picture of my inspiration.

This is what they look like together. The roof will also have dormers.

Very nice Gus. Considerable time and effort went in to that, and it shows...

Thanks for the compliments guys. Here is the last batch of pics for now. I'll post when it is completely finished but that will be awhile since I just got busy again.

Thanks, I carved the bricks out of the wood using a dremel. It takes some time but it is the closest I can get to that destroyed look.

those are great... when you do the next building can you do a step by step process ...

those look great...

how long did it took you to do one of these building...

try making a base out of stecko ... i saw a mag on how to do it... it look really reall...

Thanks Black Dragon. It is hard to say how long each one took me because I worked on them all at the same time. I started the three house project just before Thanksgiving and I worked on it just about everyday for a few hours until New Years.

For my next one I will take more picutres along the way. Here are some pictures of the first house before it was painted or glued together.

Here is the some updated pictures of my damaged village project. I still have some finishing details to work on like the doors and some touch up painting but it is mainly finished. I will start working on the town now using these house and 21st Century buildings. I will have streets, power lines, road signs ...
