That looks fantastic, nice blend of 3-d and traditional building materials too.

C'mon Lev, this just cries out for a Tute!   ;) ;)

Ha! I hardly get enough time to make everything let alone document the process.. But I will do a working diary for a project soon. Maybe...Indian Mutiny colonial?

Amazing work! Are you going to sell any components...?

I have the moulds for the walls and buildings, foo dogs and Torii archway. Happy to talk to people about commissions if they pm me.

Quite so! Also just the right mix of 3d printing and hand crafting. This is a great example of how I imagine 3d printing contributing to awesome hobby projects.

Cheers James. I think that I'm getting the balance right. Raw 3D prints still need a fair amount of work to get them to mould making stage and not everything needs to be 3D printed. Likewise sometimes it's easier to keep things as plastic rather than mould make for resin. Cost is also an issue, so being able to use the same mould to make more than one part is quite useful. The tops of the walls and curved wall ends use the same mould as the main roof, for instance.

Thanks for all the great comments!
