That's got quite a good texture on it when it's painted.

cheers

Some of them have but it is not very pronounced and usually only on one side.
The cunning trick is to use the flat side :D


OK, I'm going to call this as 'the wrong sort of pizza' because this has a raised bump on one side, and an indentation on the other. Though it isn't very pronounced in either case, I reckon I can work round it. I think your raised entrance is great, and maybe just the thing to disguise the lumps and bumps.

Everyone else - thanks guys, really helpful  :P

That's looking impresive  :o - I like the wall and railings as well.

The detailed bit and pieces are made from pink high density foam.
More of the fence



Roof finished



Front stair put together with the fence



More detail on the front and the roof in place



and it all together



Still got the windows to do. I am going to paint them before I glue them in place. A couple doors to build and few more details to add including some gas lamps at the door.
Going to paint the main bit before I glue it all together.

I'll have to give that high density foam a bash, where do you source yours from?

I got four big sheets from B&Q.
It was while ago but I think it was £20 for the four, 2' x 4' x 2" thick.
I split a pack with my brother and have used loads of it so far.

What are you using to cut it so neatly? I seem to find it cuts nicely in one plain but then snags a little in another

Exactly the problem I've been having. I bought some styrofoam and the results were embarrassing. Thought about using a hot knife but not sure what fumes I'd gas myself with.

Just a normal modelling or Stanely knike.
Nothing special.
