Made my first home for my Barbarians:-



I appreciate the texturing on the roof is a bit out of scale but it didn't look right when it was smoother. Besides, I can get away with it as it is fantasy!

In case you want to know how I did it, the walls (just visible) are made of cat litter glued one at a time in a ring (very therapeutic), the roof is a polystyrene egg cut in half which was then covered in bits of an old towelling sock. The wooden struts are just bits of a wooden stirer.

Looks like I may have found a use for that odd sock that always appears at the bottom of my cricket bag at the end of each season ;D
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Yes, and if you don't bother washing it you will achieve that dark age natural smell to it too!  :-S

Clearly you have shared a dressing room with me at some point :o

And on that point I think we had better change subject... :-X ;) :D ;D

Hi Kassad,

The last sentence directly under the photo has all the details.
If you mean the roof, it is an old towelling sock. The walls are kitty litter.

Towelling sock... I think to understand maybe. Is a cloth for wash and dry right? Very nice idea. Thanks.

Sorry, I didn't notice that English wasn't your first language.

It's a sock for your feet that  you would wear when playing tennis.
The Google translator calls it:-

                                            calzino per il tennis

Does that make sense?
