    This looks fantastic! Step by step tutorial in the future? For the stone work specifically, it looks so good!

    Thanks @Bowser , @tom ndege & @Jorgik ! :):)

    The process is extremely simple. First I glue the stones in place. Then I carefully add white glue into the gaps between the rocks and sprinkle sand on it. I let it dry and then go back and fill in any holes or depressions that formed as the glue dried. Done and done!
    I'll have to weigh it once it is completely finished! I'll post the result.

    Thanks. It's admittedly super easy to do, though a little time consuming. The trick is to have a good selection of rocks to make it look diverse and fit together well.

    I'm looking at making more fantasy buildings and a tutorial would be handy :)

    Absolutely! I have only made one piece of terrain, which I gave to my friend, but it was an outhouse. In one of our last games of 8th we rolled for what it would be randomly. It was a Wyrding well. It was pretty hilarious when my skink priest flew over to it and drank from it.
    Point is more terrain! And tutorials so we can see how you achieved your vision!

    Unfortunately I completed the final wall of the house earlier and I don't have any in progress pictures of the process. I could do a written tutorial now or do a better one (with step by step pictures) the next time I make a stone wall. Preferences?

    Also I'll be posting a picture of the fourth and final completed wall soon (I've been lazy to take a picture :oops:)... I blame the PS4!

    Those bloody things do have that effect!
    I do like the idea of a picture one for the next project!

    And this is why I don´t buy video games even though I love them, because once you start, you never finish!!

    At least there is a chimney, so a pile of wood would be a logical consequences... ;)

    Thanks everyone! :)

    I was thinking of placing a pile of wood by the side of the house. That's the most plain side of the house (no windows, doors, chimney) so I thought a little detail such a a wood pile might spruce it up.

    Definitely! I plan to do both of those things. I was also thinking of boarding up the windows (as if the occupant was expecting trouble) and painting the wood sections a darker shade of brown.

    It does indeed. I will definitely add one... I've made one previously for another project, so I'll probably go with that design.
