Yes the latter ones really look the part - especially for European quarters. Nice work!

Thanks for the comments guys.

I actually made a batch of six - they are fairly easy to make the most laborious part being the thatch and plastering.

Considering they are made of cardboard (Lego box cardboard actually) they are surprising sturdy when plastered and painted.

I like the thatch poking through better than the all round version I did before as well.

The shutters are cut off matchsticks, painstakingly glued together, but they look rustic enough.

Unfortunately I can't keep them all - four are going to the USA in exchange for more minis -  :'( . And if I want a whole village of these - well I guess its back to the grindstone.
