homage to Mikeland's huts

[carvel2]

Having seen Mikelands Celtic huts and been shamed into activity (does that man ever sleep?) ...I spent a busy night rummaging through the airing cupboard for suitable towels...
The Blue Pig band now have a sacred dwelling for their druid in the woods. I just need to send a raiding party to ...
BURN IT TO THE GROUND!!!!

I see they have been to Domus Base to get some exterior paint.......very up market

very nice work Carvel.....and i notice a bit of claret...wave a few swords about and it gets everywhere doesn't it?

[mikeland]

Excellent work Carvel, love The shaped door... Hope you don't mind if I asymalate that one (still got my chiefs hut to do).


Love all the fancy decor... Has Lauretrix Llewelyn-Bowatix been helping out? Though clearly the chap on the left spent all his disposable income on his house and had nothing left for clothes.

That is ace, Carvel - it's nicer than our gaff, think I need you to come and work on it! The artwork is great, must be a high-ranker. How did you go on "plastering" the walls? The towel on the roof is great, and that's a great effect above the door. Must get some of that Tamiya red, though.
@mikeland: Know how he feels (nearly)!

Great hut - how did you get the complex curves in the top?

[carvel2]

@Grant...simple cone made then a bit of extra card stuck on at the edgeto provide a hump in the smooth surface of the cone...took a bit of cutting to get it right. The toweling was a simple circle with wedge cut out and it covered all perfectly. The beam is a kebab squewer with notches cut out of its top side so it could be 'persuaded' into a curve. Hope that helps.
Many thanks all for the positive comments ...this forum has certainly lifted my game. Cheers!
The plan is for a super big round house next but I need to find a cardboard tub big enough to form the base.

Terrific Carvel! Thanks for the tips. The complex curved roof really looks great!
