Super job. Thats turned out rather good. The little bits of carving help to break it up and overall its a lovely piece.

Now all you have to do is the rest of the building. Nothing wrong with your command of english either, vegetation is fine.

Seconded, it looks very nice. :)

It looks great but you should have a higher highlight with bleached bone on the edge of your tiles (a light highlight).

Here is another example of a roof I made for a diorama. Of course you can't do the same light effect on a tabletop building because you would have to do it on all your buildings and place them under the same light source (same direction) which is impossible if you want a modular table.

I wish I were an octopus to paint more miniatures...Cthulhu must be a great painter

I did it... maybe in the photo it is not so evident, but I assure you about it!

Wait, do you mean the woof effect or the other one? I love the other one, but on the roof it is a bit too heavy... I really prefer something more dark... Dunno why....

And, of course, this is a fantasy models... they've to be more colourfull than an historic one... dunno why, but that's true!  ??? ??? ???

No on the other one I was speaking about the light on the wall, not the roof.
