Thanks chaps, I've said it before, you're too kind. And I'm glad I'm a patient modeller because I'm still cutting and gluing on cork bricks.😮💨😮💨😮💨 Once they are all glued on and primed I'll have to paint them brick after brick... I'm hoping I won't face a mojo drop as these jobs are boring the heck out of me. Only when all the bricks are painted I can start with the plaster coat on the walls. The sidewall section in progress.  |

The only motivation at the moment to keep going with the cork, is the fun things laying ahead once it's done Boots-bro (scratching a lantern, shutters...) Slowly it's going to look like the house of my imagination, still there's a whole lot to do.  |

Little bit of advice: don't show these pictures to you wife, she'll be having you redoing your house in no time...

The right sidewall is nearly completed with cork bricks and the next step is to make them rock hard by soaking them with thinned woodglue (soft brush!). Once the glue has hardened the structure will be pretty sturdy.   |
