Japan Project - village buildings

I constructed the Japanese village buildings pretty quickly after Salute but found that the fur for the thatched roofs had been cut the wrong way round.  4ground provided replacements and a couple of cart kits as village accessories to apologise, and I glued the fur onto the roofs a couple of days ago.  After 24 hours, the fur was then coated with a 50/50 water/PVA mixture to flatten it down and stiffen it up, and I think it's not a bad representation of a thatched roof.


The buildings are very detailed with dark wooden frames with a lighter wood or white plaster infill.  The roofs are removable and inside you can see working doors (both hinged and sliding types), raised floors and hearth, and windows.
