Bonjour Debrito,
J'utilise du polystyréne extrudé pour les murs, les colombages et fenêtres sont réalisés à partir de planchettes de cagette à légumes , les ardoises sont en carton et collées une à une. {sm4} Cordialement;

the walls are extruded plystyrène studs and windows made ​​with wood vegetable crates recovered food store (free of charge), the roof tiles are made ​​of cardboard and pasted one by one.

Very nice indeed, can I ask what the buildings are made of?

Well done, mon ami! You noted that the walls use polystyrene studs--are the entire walls of plastic, or just the timbers, and if it's only the timbers, what did you use for the wattling/plaster in the fields? I'm working on reproducing Fachwerk walls. I thought about making the actual timbers and filling the fields, but have settled for using luan paneling sheets and bassword strip for the timbers. Your results are really excellent, and I'd like to try the technique.

Prost!
Brad

Hello Brad,
I'll try to explain how I make:{sm4}

I draw and cut in the extruded polystyrene walls.
I draw on every piece of the space for window, door and studs.
These pieces are wooden crates for vegetables (not balsa!)
The slates are traced and cut out of cardboard (box Kellogs cornflakes!) and glued one by one on the support (roof)
I cut with a cutter on the location of the timber walls, windows ... etc. .. and I glue (white glue for wood).
When everything is dry, I rubbed with sandpaper pieces of walls between the studs with coarse sandpaper to make them rough.
Afterwards, there is more than paint.
I have enclosed some photos of the raw materials!
I hope that with the translator google you will understand.
Regards.:salute::

As Schultz says in "Stalag 17", "Ach, so. Ach, sooooooo!"

Makes perfect sense! I had thought you might have built the frame with the (in-scale) timbers, and cut pieces of foam to fit in the fields in between. That would have been much harder, I can see now. Thanks for showing the parts!

Prost!
Brad
