More progress, now the second cottage is finished

And the roofs are done after many nights of gluing down individual tiles! I will add a center line once it is glued onto the building

Thanks

LOVELY! That is going to be a thing of BEAUTY when complete...looks pretty darned good as it is now. TERRIFIC WORK!

Very nice. Can't wait to see it all painted.

Thanks guys. It should be finished tomorrow. I had to do some last minute surgery as the roofs weren't long enough!

Finished the cottages!

I glued the walls together and inserted pins to help hold them together. Then I cut and glued the end balsa wood pieces on the and then fitted the roofs. But somehow I managed to stuff up the measurements so the roofs were not wide enough.

So I quickly pulled apart the walls and chopped about 10mm off each of the main walls. After that little disaster the buildings went back together well and you wouldn't know. So I'm very happy with how they came out.

First Cottage

Second Cottage

Nice! I hope you're going to go with an old-school paint job on these (grey/blue tiles etc)

Amazing how simple but effective the cottage is.

Yes blue grey but may not as bright as the one in the White Dwarf.

Looks Good. Paint please

I've almost finished painting the cottages, but as I was painting them I noticed the black spray painted melted most of the chimneys

So I have pulled them off and made new ones (which are slightly better I think)

Ahh! Sounds terrible. Results there look good.

I've finished the first cottage and I'm very pleased with it. I went with a blue grey slate tiled roof and a creamy daub colour with a few washes similar to the original colours. I haven't decided how I will base it yet since I want to have a detailed base but that limits its uses, so I might try and keep the building removeable.

The second cottage is almost finished, I'm just waiting on a some paint to dry.

I'll try and take some better photos when i get a chance.

You have some serious scratch-building mojo going on there!
I admire your patience ( those roof tiles must have been a pain!) which obviously paid off with a lovely end result. Excellent PJ too!
