Thanks John

Really looks an interesting kit....maybe we should do a Da Vinci GB someday...

[Guest]

Yep!

Here is a picture of the “old” soil....

This is my new attempt...

Personally I prefer the second one, and I suppose once painted will look much better.
Any thoughts...?

[Guest]

My second doubt.

I’ve been working on this little house these last days, and I painted the walls as an ancient wood.

My first plan was paint the entire studio’s soil on these colours.....but maybe it will look so “dark”?
Thought the wooden on their century was principally shady, not?

Hi Pollux I agree the 2nd version looks better. Are you going to use paint or stain?
I think a thinned down water based stain might get the finish you want

Actually, I’m using inks to paint the wooden Colin. I love the results by the moment.

The pity is that there is no many stuff and colours to choice ops:

I am liking the the colour of that wood very much Polux.

I think that would be ok for the floorboards, a dusting of dry pigments and it should be perfect

Hi all!
Finally an update....

Have been for a while without any modelling activity, and once on the workbench, I decided to return at this project.

The soil is finished and on place. (anyway, not glued yet)

I started to work on the walls. They three are ready to draw and cut the respective doors.

This strange foam is so mouldable and delicate, but is easy to work as well. After an hour or so, the stairs are sculpted.

A plus.....

The walls look fantastic. This is really getting my imagination working. Great stuff

[Guest]

Just found this very ambitious, can't wait to see it built. Love what you have done so far.
