You mentioned this difficulty with the smaller Pringles tubes before, I must admit it did confuse me as most of the shops near me still stock them. I guess Lincoln isn't a Pringle-eating centre of excellence!! Lol!

Preorders soon? Once you get a few of these buildings out the gate any chance of doing an accessory pack? Just windows, doors and other bits that might be useful in a total kit bash - of course you will need to see how the other lines are moving before. I hope all the folks out there are not sitting on their wallets waiting.... This man, this Master Builder needs Patrons in order to keep the workshop going. If your UK based you don't have an excuse grabbing your first building today! Lord of Wormwood

That is an excellent building! The staircase is beautiful.
For your next building it would be good to experiment with a flat roof (like Mikes Salute building from last year).

Nice. I had a thought for more possible building arrangements.
The shape of the stable entrance could be used to make a linking corridor between two towers. If you made it longer and placed the door on the side wall it could be used to link two pringles based buildings together.

Hmm good idea... i't be a different component though - curved on both ends... sounds like a twin towers approach.

The rail has turned out great - nice little dormer window as well (didn't notice it earlier)! I actually quite like the low door, it somehow suits the Fubarnii.

Just a teaser picture of the paint job on the roof of the new stables kit. The rest of the model is painted, just the grian on the extensive amount of woodwork to go! I'm hoping to finish this and have the snags on the kit corrected and available by the start of July. I'll be offering pre-orders on this kit in the next couplf of weeks.

Superb work!
Does it need anything over the ridge of the dormer window?

how to finish off the tops of the roofs has been an issue whether they are conical or a straight ridge. I've tried various different things, but nothing that really looks like ridge tiles.
Any suggestions?

Could you cut a length of thin plastic rod (same as used for the banisters) that could effectively rest in the thin crack along the top of the roof? That might actually be quite an elegant solution.

Exactly what I was going to suggest. Either round or square.

Doh! superb suggestion - thanks guys. I was racking my brains fo how to make complete tiles!! Mind you, your timing sucks. You made that suggestion just after I'd taken the promotional pictures... More pictures on my blog... I thought you might like this teaser picture of the buildings shown together....

Can I ask a dumb question? The door appears to follow the curve of the tower, presumably that's the easiest way to build it, but in terms of real life building would Fubarnii make curved doors to fit, or would the doors be flat and the frame adjusted accordingly?
