• The color choices here are nice. - -Pendragon-
  • Great detail! - birgburg
  • I was going to say the same thing - I love the gradual change of colour. - L@go
  • What technique is this?

    EDIT- actually, I think I figured it out. Looks like rows of stacked 1x1s. Excellent work. - porschecm2
  • Nice. - Jack Riveorput

    You've managed to make a theoretically boring building really interesting. It looks great.

    The shingle technique is so subtle and natural that I almost glossed over it. I never would have thought simple 1x1's would make such a nice effect. Nicely done!

    Amazing, as always...but then again I never see less than amazing from you.

    Thanks all for the charming compliments! Carson: like Mainman indicates, the shinges are sideways 1x1 bricks and plates. I first took notice of this technique here, where the builder credits it to an unspecified issue of the magazine RailBricks. I would love to see whether the original was documented alone or integrated, if anyone could find it.

    This is the earliest use of that technique I know of, though it's still probably not the first.

    Oh wow, that's genius! I've been wanting a good shingle effect for a long time and I though the tile technique stuck out too much. It looks great. Thanks!

    Beautiful work! Honestly mistook it for a real photo of some fishery/ice cabin. Great techniques used too. :-)

    I, too. The 1x1 on their sides- genius.

    I adore your coloring -- the door, shingles, and supports are all beautifully done.
