Okay, let me get that straight:
1. you took foamboard and just drew the outline of a wall on it
Yep.

2. you cut the wall out
Yep.

3. you drew the stinework on the foamboard
Yep. Then scored it with a sharp xacto, then ran a pencil through the cuts to open them up. Pressing a rock into the foam creates the texture.

4. Glued it together and that's it???
Pretty much.

How did you achive all the little noocks and recesses (e.g. the door on your photo is set deeper than the wall itself. Did you cut that out as well or did you use various layers of foamboard?
I draw the arch, cut it out, and glue the piece that was cut out back in the same place, slightly recessed. That's actually how I do all of the doors as well.

Your second posting here gave me some hope that I might at least do something that could at least look halfway decent. Okay, given time and some idea what I want to build but I'll come to that some other time (hopefully).
Look forward to seeing the results.

I was just just looking at the WIP thread you had for this beauty on the Custom Hobby Forum - I really like your technique for stained glass - that's a nice trick, very clever.

But I also looked back at your original post here, and how you said it was built for your village. Village?!? Heaven help us if you ever start work on a city, we might as well all just turn out the lights and good home...

The doors, and the round windows, are all made from earrings. Just make sure that when you are at the store, you look at EVERYTHING! You never know what might come in useful.

I also did a much more extensive wip on a different project if you want to check that out as well.
