Cottage Paper Model

This is a nice building. It's a little narrow and the wrong shape to be a cottage really, but that's more of a naming issue than a lessening of this model. I have a couple of them in my town- one as a warehouse type building and one printed as mirror image as a residence, and they look great on a table.

I'd consider putting some rigid card joists inside for more strength, but that's not essential, and easily achieved.

I'm a big fan of all Dave Graffam's models..the sale let me complete my collection...

My only complaint with any of them are purely personal opinion...don't really care for the "moss dots" circles used for the "weathered" layer... However, i'm not sure of an alternative and they do not detract overall. When i have the option, i typically turn them off, but i'm not so unhappy with them that i'd not use a model based on them.

I do question the location of a couple of chimneys on some models, but again, that's a minor issue.

I would like to see a fourth "gate" structure to go with the other 3 and complete the set.

In general, I find his models remarkable in their detailing (Particularly the "winterized" versions) and all are interesting. my gaming groups have all enjoyed having a "town" to walk through. some of them have requested interior floor plans....

The moss dots and chimney positions are totally valid criticisms. Each model is a one-off for me, and I learn something new with each kit I design. This is an older model, in fact it\'s one of my earliest models, so I was still figuring a lot of things out. These days I try to think more carefully about things like chimney placement, and try to produce more realistic-looking textures. I\'m sure there are some models with windows where chimneys should be, but hopefully my newer stuff doesn\'t have that problem. :) Thanks for picking up this kit and writing a review!
