Looksgood, what did you make the walls from?
What part of Africa is it for, I don't recognise the style of building?

The walls are from a individual plastic tabble cloth that I buyed in a chinese bazaar.
It is for the North of Congo. I viewed that the Azande use rattan shilds and I tryed to represent it. I'm not sure that are real, but the appearence is good for me.

I like it a lot!   I did some similar buildings, with granny mesh and spackle. 

Nice work.  Has the right "Africany" feel.

For what it's worth, my GF was perusing the sight, and she loved the roof, and started making me a roof like it for my Ashanti house.
