Free build: A Modest Homestead

[SarahJoy]

I like the roof, the gold detailing, and the little potted plants; however, I agree that the door could use some contrast with the rest of the building.

Thank you! Constrast is a great suggestion. I've learned a lot from everyone's constructive criticism -- I got too concerned about the function of the door, and overlooked the importance of visual definition of the door.

Very nice, I like those red stripes you put in there to split up the tan. You could also add another strip in dark orange or medium dark flesh - I think those colours could work well.

Thank you! But no thank you for making my brick wish list even longer! Great color suggestions.

Wonderful outside design and the door looks fine. The inside is a cool design but a tiny bit cramped.

Thank you; I agree, it's a bit too cramped for long-term lodging. As a short-term shelter, though, it does the job.

So, it's been said enough already, but nice first build! I must also comment that the desert landscaping is definitely a plus here as you definitely took the time to give it life(not necessarily living things, but varied height to the sand), which is not typical especially for a first build!

Great little house, an especially good first build! Unlike everyone else, I don't mind the door at all. It's a bit different, but that's OK. Perhaps it blends in so well with the wall so that local burglars can't figure out how to get in. I wouldn't change anything.

Modest and lovely. Well done..!

Very nice first MOC for Ruadh!!! I love the colourscheme and the gold you incorporated in the house!!

Thank you all! It's so nice to be a part of such an encouraging community.

Other than the door which as already was discussed, this is a perfect little build! I like the windows and the interior. I try to make all my buildings have at least a somewhat detailed interior as well but I'm not too concerned about hinging the walls to be able to take great photos of them as I consider the interior as just a bonus. I think what you did with the removable roof is sufficient.

I really like this one! The door is already mentioned by others but I really like that not every GoH member lives in castle and fortresses! Great work!
