Hallo friends! Thank you very much for your comments, very much appreciated!!!
I'll show you some progress on the house. For the bricks I use cork. Not much care is needed to cut the cork as it will be damaged and worn in the next pases. Also I find that a bit of disomogeneity adds to realism.
As a side note, I have discovered that, after all, simmetry, uniformity and care are not that important when it comes to finishing. I mean: of course Des, Bo and others have shown us what care and attention to detail can bring to a model, actually bringing it to life. But sometimes i feel that this is not how reality actually unfolds. Trees grow asimmetrically, bricklaiers do commit errors, things wear differntly and colours fade in some areas and in others seems just new.
So, when it comes to lay cork bricks don't measure too much your eyes are the perfect tool to see if the lines are straight and if not, well, this is just how in the old times happened to have leaning towers!
ok enough talking, now some picture...
on the inside, as you can see, not everything is covered in bricks, as it will covered with plaster, and afer that maybe some wallpaper....
we'll see.
next some colours on the bricks (red ochre oil) and mortar.
till then
ciao
