Terrain building, WIP

Matt, I will pm you. If anyone's interested and happy to provide their own roof I will make some available if you send me a message.

A small update. Obviously a lot of work to be done on the central ridge and the tiles showing at the 'ends', really I need to work out how I will cast the bloody thing. I'm thinking of biting the bullet and attempting my first two-piece molds and casting everything as one piece (whilst still making individual bits available). We shall see!

Nice textures. Also, do you have 6 fingers on your hand?

[Zaheer]

I am all palm no finger, and there's some foreshortening there!

Looks good 

I wasn't going to mention the extra fingers 

cheers

Awesome roof! How did you do the shingles? I tried with different approaches so far, i really like what you've done!

Wow, that taller hut is truly awesome.

Thank you. The tiles are styrene rod, cut to shape and 'persuaded' into position. Wish it was cleverer (and easier!) than that but there you go.

Awesome - the pantile roof looks fantastic.

Brilliant! That will paint up nicely!

Oh, i see!
I did that with a lead sheet, worked very well, and for another project with a hard cardboard, bent for the shape. In both cases the result was molded, if i recall correctly, and cast in resin!

Well Sang, I hope to be able to say the same thing (once some materials arrive in the post). Both of your methods sound interesting, do you have any pics?
