Posted March 2, 201510 yr Hi all, I hope this is the right forum for this. I want to have a go at a fantasy house - I've seen lots of great models like in the link below. Any advice? The strange angles are puzzling me... does anyone have wip photos/instructions to show the building structure? Thanks. https://www.flickr.com/photos/davidhensel/14680606623/

March 3, 201510 yr Well what you need to know is simple- the inside is a mess! LD uses ball joints and partially attached plates to build those types of structures. Illegal connections do not frighten him at all. There isn't really a good "method" or tutorial because he is more of an artist than an architect!

I was wondering the same thing, but what you said is a great jumping off point.
March 4, 20159 yr Author Thanks guys - I had a play the last two evenings with hinges - suffice to say it went back in the box! Will let you know if I get anywhere!
March 5, 20159 yr Experimentation is the best way to develop your building skills. Take small sections and try and recreate them with as many different techniques as possible. Then you can see which look the best, use the fewest parts and are the most structurally sound. It's worth mentioning that complexity for the sake of complexity is self-defeating - usually the simplest solution is the best.
