I'm stalled on the big grape hut in the background. I think it's too big, but I'm not sure how to make smaller vents. I may switch to wood and use a drill and file to cut the vents.
The buildings with the thatched lean-tos is inspired by one of the Silver Whistle's buildings. I'm not sure if you can see them, but I am trying to build some rock walls under the lean-tos with fish tank gravel.
Looking good. For the grape hut, do you need actual openings? How about cutting a single slit for each opening? Then you could press it open a bit with a toothpick or other tool of the right width.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to keep the vents you could always make them look shorter by gluing a strip of paper or thin balsa across the top half inch or so. The thickness of the paper will disappear when you texture the outside, and balsa could be a ledge or a thicker part of the masonry/mud. Carefully blacking out the inside should hide the cosmetic fix to all but the terminally curious. It would be shame to throw it away after all of that cutting!
