Creating a framework house part 1

As I like frame work houses, I would like to make a village with these kind of houses. But I never did this before, so I just tried to make one. From some pieces of triplex I first made the walls, on scale and with a little help from Lady Trix.
After the walls I started to make the structuur with match-stick sized wood. This must be a bit logic, becourse in reality they are supporting the building. Before finishing the walls I coloured all visible wooden parts Then I filled up everything with gips. The roof was a difficult part, it had to stay in the shape I wanted. It is made from cocos fibre. So for the first part I used glue, but that was a bit visible. The top layer I fixed with lacquer. The story continue's, see part 2
