The Buildings: Part One
A Close up of the Walls and Cloth. The Cloth was all painted with Snakebite Leather Contrast straight onto the paper Mache. The Curtains are made by sticking a toothpick into the gap and pushing the paper in with an old brush.
I decided to put the roof boards under the roof than over it as shown in the originals. This not only gave support to the Roof but made it a little more interesting to see top down which is most of the time.
The Support Beams were Painted Khaki then washed with Snakebite Leather and drybrushed with Khaki. The Roof was then drybrushed with Khaki.
You can see the stippling effect here. I also draped a few on the curtains over the window and tore them to make them look disheveled. 
On some houses I used Matchsticks, painted the same as the corner planks, to give the illusion of the walls falling and being supported.
Buildings can be made unique by cutting the sides at different angles. This one is a storage barn.
The Hay is made by buidling a mound of putty or something else, paint it black and glue cut up doormat bristles or something similar to give the impression of a hay pile.
The Roof sticks are painted in the same way as the corner sticks. I broke them off and roughed them up a bit before gluing them down.
It's easier to see in person but this and the next picture are an example of how cutting the walls on an angle gives the impression of tumbledown shacks especially with the added matchstick supports
The wall had a hole cut in it and toothpicks inserted before the Spackle was applied to give the impression of a filled in window. If I build any more of these I probably won't bother doing any of these.
