Chorduroy Posted September 4, 2014 Hey all, Here are pics of a house I built to emulate the one in the pics. The first two floors came together very nicely as some parts seemed to fit really well with the overall scale and aesthetic, but the roof was a nightmare. I spent hours and hours on it, but couldn't get it to look even close to correct. Unfortunately, our convention and show was the next day and working until 2:00 AM still didn't get me any closer. Oh well, just ignore the awful roof!

Zerobricks Posted September 4, 2014 The hoouse looks really awesome but what I really like is the Ivy in the back. Its so nice and realistic, it suits an old house. It gives it character like a beard or a monocle :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chocolatecake Posted September 4, 2014 Oh.. the roof, I understand you - been there and it is really a pain in the... Your result is really good, well executed and I think: why didn't I do that? So keep on MOC'ing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmynick Posted September 4, 2014 Very nice house! I like the woodwork sort of things inside the dormers. The entire thing has great proportions and the texture on the chimney is a nice touch. Like you said, the roof is a bit wonky, but the rest of the house is great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
