Fantastic buildings.

What did you make the pantiles out of?

Really great. Painting and architecture reminds me of Herges Tin Tin comic books. So I would use the intact buildings for Tin Tin adventures.
Cheers

Thank you, all.

I made pantile from corrugated paper, bought in shops for painters. Cut them to pieces of 75mm width and pasted
A shale tiles made ​​of skin folders, which are usually sold in stationery stores, they have little textured.

Regarding windows i'm not sure, but to my mind it's better for playing - without windows. Obviously, windows would make the look of houses better, but I couldn't think of how to do it (so that is fast)

if you like, i'm casting them for my buildings, and i think they should work really well with your pieces!

i can sell you a mould, much cheaper for you, leaving to you the casting part, if you like!

here are some example of the old piece... if you like i can give you this, or now i'm making a much flatter one, better for more realistic pieces!

That is an amazing set of buildings, love the look of them! Clean and simple; I especially like the look of the corrugated cardboard for tiles - will have to check our local art supply places for similar card in the painter's supply sections.

It took approximately 1,5 years, because cardboard is hard to cut (for me). At fist i made a little bit different houses and broke them at least. There are only two survived  :), the rest were remade or broken.

hum, wrong size though! :)

Jack,

are you windows modular?
That is: external frame, internal frame, and top?
Very interesting!
You MUST give me the dimensions, so I'll use them in my future buildings!! :D
