Thanks for the kind words.
The shingles are engraved, but using gray scale before etching, they engrave deeper the darker the lines are. We are actually working on making the individual shingles more pronounced, as the horizontal lines show up quite clearly, but the way I painted it sort of obscured the vertical lines, but there are deeper vertical lines.
As a side note, the fireplace and indeed, pretty much any of our detail pieces will be for sale on their own.
As for what is next, we are doing to mundane stuff first, ie. just some houses. We are trying to build a village from the ground up, and we decided to do some homes first, then the businesses. I am dying to design a mill with a water wheel. =)
Thanks again,
Jim
