Yes, I often have the patience of a 4-year-old when it comes to the hobby as I always want to move along to the next project so scratchbuilding (which I always stand amazed with the work of others) often falls pretty low on my priority list. I really should give it more of a try though...

I really love how you managed to enhance this "lived in" feeling with your paint job.<br />Can't agree more on MDF. It definitely has its pro's but making it look as convincing as your casa here would take me almost as long as completely scratch build it.Moiterei_1984https://www.blogger.com/profile/13808567081733803572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-10332319478787928602016-09-06T03:42:25.837-06:002016-09-06T03:42:25.837-06:00Lovely job on your nationalists and the cottage lo...Lovely job on your nationalists and the cottage looks suitably run down and wonky, I enjoy scratch building scenery but there is the time saving appeal of mdf and it gives you something pretty good for not too much money, can't be bad!<br />Best Iain caveadsum1471https://www.blogger.com/profile/02174163740406928172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-41553495127085999642016-09-06T01:55:22.886-06:002016-09-06T01:55:22.886-06:00another amazing piece of art kind sir!
