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

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.

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 ...
