A Little Wattle And Daub House

[Codsticker]

My buddy Jeff (those who have frequented TMP in the past would have known him as BluebearJeff ) who passed away in 2016 left me several things including a small house that he had built. Very straight forward construction: foam core walls, black cardstock for a shingle roof and unpainted balsa wood for the timber, all on a thin card base:



I used it as a basis to try a couple of materials I had been wanting to play with; I added toweling to the roof for thatch and wood filler to the walls for daub.



Although the daub did not quite work out as well as I had hoped, I am happy with the tatch.

Nice work and rememberance of a friend. I see nothing wrong with the plaster and the thatch looks great.

The transformation as it stops looking like bits of cardboard is exciting to watch.

Thank you everyone for the kind remarks. As Jeff had done all the construction it was a very quick and satisfying project.

Indeed the walls look every bit as good as the thatched roof….that looks excellent, I’m sure he’d be pleased!

Well done on a personally significant piece; it looks great and you made the already nice base construction shine

What is this "complete" you speak of? I have never seen the beast nor even seen it's tracks!

Nice solid little building and the fact that it's a memorial to a gaming friend is even better.
