I can see how you got all the coke's down. It looks rather intricate. What is the material that the building is made of.??
Are the terraces you are talking about the white part surrounding the building?
Is it glue that holds it all together? Did you install the rafters, floor joists, and door thresholds?
Boy, sure a lot of questions. I enjoyed your pictures!

What about the interior? Did you build little people and furniture? 
I bet it was fun to build and just as much fun to show off.  |

Its all made out of 1/8 inch plywood, minus all the little things which are basswood...
Im sorry i was so tired from the project I ment trellises its the front top left when looking at the house...
It is in fact all held together with Sobo craft glue, and A LOT of bondo to fill in cracks...
I did not install any structure to it..this was purely a visual model, which we drew the floor plans to earlier in the semester...with out any scale plans to go by...wow that was a pain in the ***...
everything that is white is kind of "abstract" if you will, so that all the focus is on the house...you can see the garage is right off the street...
here is a better pic:
Thank you all for the comments it really feels good to get some comments, good or bad after so much work...

oh... does that bring back memories! If I had a nickel for every all-nighter I pulled whilst in architecture... When we got to model building during my first (and last) semester of archiTORTURE, we were given a set of pictures from a magazine, from which we then had to determine the scale and then constuct a model. Getting the proportions correct from the perspective photos was a hoot. I used chipboard & foamcore at the time- somewhat easier to work with than plywood.
When our models were due, people were still in the process of gluing in the landscaping & scaleys (scale figures). The professor walked in & said... "all right everyone, leave the room... we're going to arrange them from best to worst!"
The models pretty much ran the gamut... from VERY nicely & professionally done to terribly executed models from hacked up cardboard boxes. Thankfully, I finished in the top 25%. I still miss architecture. Sometimes I wish I had stayed with it. I never had a decent GPA after I left architecture. Then again, I wouldn't be the engineering GIANT that I am now. <<gags>>
Best of luck... it's a tough field & lots of competition... but lots of fun too.

Justin, You doing Architecture at Lawrence Tech? My uncle lives right around there and I was contemplating doing that program at one point.... changed my mind and decided I would rather be a drug dealer (Pharmacist).

Yeah there were some pretty nasty looking models...I think every architecture program is just crazy hard...It seems once you start to go to school for architecture it becomes your life...I know it has become mine...but when i think about it i really couldnt see myself doing anything but architecture for a profession...Thanks for the comments!
