Effing brilliant work James  8)

He is right, ya know, it is quite exquisite.
 :D :-*

The stonework is really quite superb. It looks like you've individualy lain each block! (you haven't have you?  :D).

I bet he did, the mad bugger.

Nice stuff James.

Once you've got your eye in you can knock me one out too.

Only kidding mate.  ;)

The small bricks work well bibbles!  :-*  :-* Any plans for a pebble and plaster combo like the 'spanish townhouse' crafted by Blockhaus? A bit of that material could help feather the seam between levels too.

I like how the tower breaks unevenly, very crafty sir.

Yep, from an engineering perspective it works brilliantly as well as an aesthetic one.

You will have to give us a recap on just how you made the bricks James  :)

James, wonderfull work of art both scratchbuilt and painting. :-* :-*
Did you use white glue to glue the separated bricks or some polyuretane special glue?

Thanks chaps  :)

I might plaster over some of it but I quite like just the brick finish.

Just normal wood glue for the sticking.

cheers

Made a start on the roof today. Simple wooden frame and I'll stick some scale rushes on the top.

Beautiful progress.

I have to ask - did I miss the rest of the Pathan/Afghan project, or is this tower "the beginning"?

James, what have you mixed with the paint to get the rough texture?
