This ended up looking really quite huge next to the model, which is going to inform my choices about scaling in future. Fundamentally, I make doors too big, and that then throws everything else off. The window's a bit skewiff, too. Nonetheless, I'm pretty happy with this. The wallpaper that provides the bricks is just great, although one does seem to spend forever painting it. The roof felt is black sandpaper, and the window is that granny grating stuff. I'm knocking up a few buildings at the minute that have a particular feel to them, on which more in due time. Future iterations will either be smaller or have a chimney, because this thing's so big it could be a cottage. The roofing and brick give a suggestion of period, but aren't too specific, I hope. The doorknob needs to be smaller, too.
