Miniature french house destroyed

Miniature french house destroyed
Hello people! Today I bring you this house produced by the miniart, so far, this has been the most difficult construction I did, but it was worth it, I really like the final result despite not being as I expected, and the product really is Excellent, good plastic, good accessories and good quality.
This construction is one of those I want to insert Diorama in a future, set during the landing of the allies in Normandy in 1944.
I am studying how to build houses with compensated wooden tablets so as to add a little imagination and creativity in the construction of buildings to be displayed in dioramas. I will show a video in which I will show you how I build the houses, as soon as I have time and find my good technique, I will show it to you.
Thanks for watching!
Bye everyone!

This is pretty cool! It would have been better if the main structure was injection molded instead of vacuum-formed. But the internal reinforcement seems to have done the trick. (That said, I would have used blocks of XPS foam instead of plasticine, as it would have added strength, but not that much weight.)
Your painting and weathering really brings out the best in this piece. I hope you have plans to include this in a future diorama!

Thanks for all the advice, I'm very happy that you like my videos. I'll try to look at this type of material to fill the structures. I currently built a typical French/German house with plywood. So I am experimenting to build houses from scratch, I will subsequently include them in different plastic.
Thanks for the like!

@@edoart3081 Thin plywood was the go-to material for making diorama buildings back-in-the-day since a render of spackle was all that was needed to replicate a typical, European / Mediterranean Stucco finish. Shep Paine has detailed instructions for doing this in his 1980 book, "How to Build Dioramas."
But after the turn of the century, many modelers began using XPS foam, embossed with wood or stone detail and sealed with Mod-Podge prior to painting to make buildings, after the method used by wargamers, to make terrain. There are plenty of videos on this site. I also have a book published by Games Workshop titled, "How to Make Wargames Terrain," that shows a lot of useful tips. I think this one is available online as a PDF, too.
As always, Happy Modeling!

@@modelermark172 thanks for the advice. Yes, I have seen that XPS foam is more versatile than wood or other materials. For now I have experimented with plywood, an excellent result came out but I intend to try XPS foam, I think it is a little easier to use, also for making certain details that are a little difficult to do with plywood (like a piece of peeling plaster with exposed bricks underneath and cracks in the plaster). I was thinking of using plywood to create the roof and I create the walls with XPS foam
