My aim is to reproduce the papercraft of this printing (may be all the printing... I'll see...)

I start to model the house... But there is a perspective problem in the printing. I think that I have to make choices to be consistant. I probably will reduce the inferior part.
After that I will make the second part of the house (which have perspective problem too...).

Good beginning, Pat. I will be following your progress. Bonne chance!

Could this solve the perspective problem? Look at the pic...

C'est une idée merveilleuse. Je suis impatient de voir prendre forme sous vos mains. A bientôt!

This is a great idea. I look forward to watching it take form under your hands. See you soon!

theres definately some confusing lines in that drawing.

the roof part (above the balcony figure) is the underside of the roof.
I don't believe the balcony railing and corner railing line up.
The balcony that the figure is on juts out ahead of the corner balcony.
maybe a step or L shaped balcony?

does this help?

What a great idea! Sometimes the structures were designed in a flattened or altered geometry - to enhance the perspective, so not all angles are necessarily 90 degrees. Also, the triangle gable may not be vertical, but tilting back into the building a few degrees.

Its nice to see this artform being revived. I'll be following closely Pat.

Tapcho : I agree with you and your blue dotted line.

Thomas : Damned ! Your french is better than my english ! Shame on me !

Airdave : Interresting proposition for the roof... and the L shape balcony...

Papermodelfan and B-Manic : thank for your encouragement.

I have to think more about the house... So I made the cow and the herd. I had to modify some lines and create some hidden part on the printing.
(The differences in the color are due to light and my printer...)

Nice work so far, Pat. I agree that there is a optical illusion quality to the model in the print. And the location of the princess appears rather different in the model than in the scroll above the actor's head. You will, no doubt, have to use some artistic license.

Now the different parts of the house are done...
