It certainly does the job. A word of warning though, it's addictive, although you do improve with practice.
For future buildings you might want to put more relief into the door and window frames, they help to give depth to a building facade.
The seafoam trees, are they the ones you grow? Any chance of a close up with a fig or two to show size? I've always been curious about those.
Looks very nice. :D I actually thought those buildings were monolith designs at first galanceWell Done Well done Well done

The windows and door frames and then painting those wooden bits.
I found it really hard so maybe be rendering first them sticking them on would be best or painting them first and then sticking them on. Don't know really.

Well, if you apply the filler first, the surface will be less even, so they might not sit flush if you stuck them on afterwards. I'm really having a hard time explaining what I want to say next in English, so I hope it's intelligable (intelligible?). Maybe you could glue them in place first, like you did now, but make them stick out a mm or so more, so that when you apply the filler, they don't get burried in it, but maintain the relief (is that a word in english?)? In other words, assuming your window and doorframes were 1mm thick on this version, you lost a lot of the relief when applying the layer of filler. Now if you made them 2mm thich, you'd still have a good mm sticking out after the rendering, thus preserving the relief.
Does that make any sense at all?
I have good results by watering polyfilla down and adding a little fine sand so it is more like a sloppy paste. I then use an old large brush to apply it. I find this easier/quicker and it still gives the right finish. It is also a bit thinner so does away with the "relief" problem too. Perhaps it is something you could try?

The base of the tops is 18-20mm. I used two pieces of foamore laminated together to create my walls. Should work ok on 1.5cm???
