| I've found it to be addictive myself. AND there's no Twelve Step Program, but you rarely see anyone lying in the gutter with a tube of Elmer's in his hand. Be that as it may, LOOKING GOOD! Have FUN with your Joneses!  | |

| Looking good. There is something really visual about visible timber. Really adds to the gaming experience | |

| Thank you BK I'm really pleased with how it's turning out. I'm currently working on the upper storey, it's just cut out foam board with pencil guides for cut outs, timber and detailing atm but I can really see it taking shape. I'll have some pics on later. | |

| Here are the two intact sides of the upper storey. https://imgur.com/KkqKKLc As you can see I am detailing the windows and upper door with frames. https://imgur.com/NbRHawA The large opening will be fashioned as a loading door for a warehouse which will be the theme for my board as a whole. I'm going for a dockside warehouse district vibe. Thanks for looking  | |

| The latest pieces are VERY PROMISING. Not knowing exactly where you are going with either adds to their attraction. The Waterfront theme also has a lot of potential...sleazy drinking establishments & houses of ill repute in their newly ruined & mutated states sound WONDERFUL to moi. Keep on keeping on!  | |

| Thanks for the support  I know it's looking pretty generic at the moment but I'm just trying to get to grips with the techniques. I'm planning something much bigger for my next building but I'm determined to get this ready for paint first. I'm in no hurry and I'm enjoying the process immensely | |

| You'll lose the generic look as you add more & more details to the Beasty. Your roof line is already taking on a unique appearance. AND having fun with it all is exactly what it is all about. One tip: before you have it fully assembled check to make sure your brush can reach all the areas that will need painting.  | |

| Really appreciate the feedback captain. The timber frame is nearly complete, just need to get floor boards and roof finished then add a few details and she should be good to paint https://imgur.com/GJjA430 From an elevated position https://imgur.com/x0cF4Ha | |

| Now you're cooking. That is living up to its potential & then some. You've got all sorts of interesting angles to the Beasty. GREAT WORK!  | |

| EXCELLENT PROGRESS! The roof adds to the overall appeal of the piece with some nice angles, which may be a bit of a challenge to tile. GREAT WORK!  | |

| I've started tiling, I'm going for a ruined look so the tiling will be patchy. The tiles are made using old take away lids which are sanded in one direction to give striations to the glossy surface. I'm trying to achieve a slate effect. I have chipped them to give a weathered look. https://imgur.com/vw2Nyf6https://imgur.com/GB5gbUKI have also added two platforms to the upper storey doorways https://imgur.com/i87QrxWAnd floorboards on the upper storey. https://imgur.com/1bltzS9Thanks for looking and as always all comments and criticism encouraged and welcomed  | |

| Almost forgot, I started the base of the house with flagstone flooring and an outer edge to define it. https://imgur.com/awKld8l It's drawn directly onto a pizza base (given the idea by captain b!)  | |

| I would imagine that is a much more difficult proposition than drawing on foam. It does look TERRIFIC though. GREAT WORK once more!  | |
