How did you make these, and is it a quick method? Because if it is, I'll have something to do in the summer holiday.
I made them using aerated concrete, its called gas beton in my laguage.
I start with making slices of about 16x1,5x6or7 cm for the long side and the small sides are a little smaller.
then using a hacksaw I make the horizontal lines in the concrete. the vertical lines are just freehanded with a prime this gives a nice uneven texture to the bricks.
gluing these things is kinda tricky, hot glue, superglue, pva glue all wont work.
the thing if found working best is just hobby glue with aceton/or other dilutant.
and also make sure you clean the concrete before gluing,mostly blowing some bursts of air on the cut works ok.
always give the concrete a spray painted black undercoat so all the little bubbles get filled.
the roofs are made by taking two pieces of hardboard cut to the right size, glued onto some sticks to represent beams.
the slate on was just covered with pieces of cardboard and the straw one was covered in little pieces of sisal rope.
hope you will also get good results making villages,
martijn
