Whilst I was doing the wood piles I couldn’t help thinking that the roofs look cool and all but they’re not 3D.

Given that I might be snowing these later this could be a complete waste of time. but I want to try it and see whether the 3D nature pays off under the snow dusting it’ll get later.

Off to the popsicle stick collection! £1 for 50 sticks, cheaper than buying from 4Ground but requires much more effort..

fat = less effort. thin = better to scale

6 fat ones per stick or 12 thin ones per stick

test a look. left flat and right supported by match

trim down the first layer so you don't have a silly lip or need to use a match which added too much height

much nicer and flatter! happy days.

All three orders were put in at the same time and 4ground were the ones that won the race! no word of the other two yet.

I built the building PDQ and added in all the extras I had got too. Basic things you would expect in a woodsmans cabin, bed, bench and table. I also made a chopped wood pile and stored it under the porches as after all you would want to keep a healthy stash of seasoned firewood nearby at all times.

The woodpile was achieved by cutting up a 1cm thick stick found in the local forest floor into 1cm lengths and then quarters to look like it has been chopped. then it was all glued together using superglue. the glue is hidden between the logs and a lot is used behind it where you can’t see to bind it all together. It should never break or fall apart now. the bark and the wood core would easily separate you see. so lots of glue was used to prevent that.
