That's looking good Paul. There's something a bit special about scratch building.

I'm always amazed by people that make foam bricks :)

Looking good so far, follies are pretty interesting, visually and from a cultural perspective.

Thank you for all the encouragement.  :D

It’s not a proper project until you stick on little blue foam bricks! Are you going to put wrought iron on the door? Maybe some bracing or a big handle?
The door will be added to.  I just needed the outline to do the stonework around the door (see below).

I'm always amazed by people that make foam bricks :)
I blame James! That said, I do have form for foam inspired madness...... http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=7181.0

Update: More foam, slightly more cork:

Making stones from foam:

A: Strip of blue foam 10mm x 6mm (Dimensions can be varied depending on how big you want the finished stone).
B: Single block; generally 10-15mm long.
C: Curve cut to rear and front of block.
D: Trimmed to size and the sharp edges slightly sanded for a more rounded look.

I've used individual bricks also (more fun building) but the work you put in each one is insane. But totally worth it as they look fabulous! :-*

Slower progress in the past 2 weeks due to various other things going on.  ::)

Just more blue foam added:


More blue foam too:


The bits around the door and windows were a bit fiddly, but all sorted now.  The lower part has been "textured" but the upper not (so far), just to show the contrast.  I have also left the blocks around the door and windows "un-textured"
