Hello forumites!
Today is a glorious day because i finally put a vague sketch:
into practice! (which i normally don't do...
)
So here is step one:
- Spoiler:
I've cut out all pieces that i thought i needed, but i forgot that i would need 8 sides
,
so i thought its just a prototype i'd do only 2 walls and see how it will turn out.
Close-up of the door:

Close-up of the window:
- Spoiler:
Close-up of the outerwall corner thingy or how its called
- Spoiler:
Next step is glueing the first pieces together:
- Spoiler:
Notice on the upper side of the wall there is a 'gap'. right above the window you can see a piece of cardboard horizontally. This is done on purpose so I can add a roof in the future which can be taken off!
Then i placed the inner walls with some blank paper glued on it for testing how glue reacts for texturing purposes.
- Spoiler:
And here is the result:
- Spoiler:
Its all made from cerealbox cardboard
Tell me what you think!
(sorry about the hazy pictures, i made them with my mobile phone and for the close-up i used a magnifying glass
)
Next upgrades are planned:
Roof
Printed textures
