That turned out very nice Kevin. I'm looking forward to
the setting you put it in.

Nice one Kevin !!

To me, that's the representation of "simple does not imply trivial", definitely!
I would like to thank you once more, in addition to the fact that I like that culture, because the thread was like a small class.
I will surely give it a try.

Thank you Ray and hrodgers for the kind words.

asettico - give it a go. You will enjoy it.

Another thing is that Mauthers models are very much - because of his drawing style - like little works of art. This means they often feel to me like little 3d paintings, which I find a lot of fun!

You will see this clearly in the next lot of pictures I upload.

Here are some better photos of the finished model taken today. Still thinking of the jungle setting - to come!

The pictures are all taken (apart from the last two) under natural light - this really helps convey the feel of the model.

Pictures 1 to 5 - General views. As mentioned I really like the "artistic" look of the finished result.

Picture 6 - This clearly shows the cardboard base added. A piece of a cornflake box!

Pictures 7 to 9 - More general pics, including the back of the building - also worth showing.

Pictures 10 and 11 - The last two pictures were taken with a flash - they show the detailed art nicely. The model also stands up well under the harsh light!

Beautiful!
It can inspire an interactive fiction story...

That's gorgeous, Kevin. I hadn't realised how small it is until now.

Great work!!!

You are right about Mauther's artistic style, it lends to the models.

[Kevin WS]

Thanks all!

Philip - I reduced it by maybe 15-20% as it was too big for me. Not certain by how much I reduced it as I just eye-balled it to an actual size I liked, and felt was not hard enough to build.
