Well done, the shingles look good, and your buildings work well together. The stone work looks good. 8) 8)
I can easily see a whole scratch built town spring up around these pieces :)

I'd possibly suggest watching scale creep on future builds, those are large buildings when you consider how big the miniatures are. A small church or large hall easily in size. Just a thought if you are planning on turning to private dwellings. Peasant folks don't take up too much room ;) and don't mind low ceiling heights :D I started making buildings a little large too, but have seen some sense in making them a little smaller (STORAGE!!)  lol  lol  lol  lol

Cheers

Constable,
Thank you!

I see your point about scale creep...I will build some smaller peasant styled houses in the future...smaller and way less ornate.
On these and a few more I am planning,(like a coach inn) they are a little large for playability.
I was really thinking of a wealthy town or small port city for any fantasy rpg...

I did a lot of research before I started these whimsical buildings and was amazed at just how SMALL the real peasant homes were...one room with a thatched roof and central fire pit...space for the animals to come in at night for protection from thieves and predators...nice extra warmth in the winter! lol...i'd prolly build a tree house and stay there!!! lol lol lol

I was thinking the red roof one would be some kind of tavern or meeting place and the blue roof was some rich cat's house...anyway
it's just too much fun I have been having with this!

As long as you're having fun, that's what matters I say. :D

I'd rather want to sleep in a tree too if the animals stayed indoors in the only room in the house! lol lol lol
