ABOUT THE STRUCTURE:
The total size is 10"W x 12"D x 14"T
The Build
OK it’s a dice tower. I was inspired by Gerard Boom dice roller,
that it was in the shape of a house. I started with the foundation of
the building so that I could line up all the drainage details to the
house. I’m a big fan of mixing up mold styles, and though that the
foundation would be from an older building that would had stud there
before, so it need to have contrast with the upper floors, hence the
fieldstone look. Because of the rear excavation there needed to be
access from the road level to the sewer entrance, and also from the
road to the ground-floor rear, (sewer jacks office door) so the rear
walk-way and side stairs were added.
Next up, Ground floor. I wanted the front to look like it was just
for show, as the ground floor had been re-modenized from a town-house
to a working office/sewer jack quarters. The door on the side of the
house is for access to inner-stairs up to the rolling family quarters
on the first floor and roof area.
The first floor i add a front a rear balcony just as design features.
The roof i add window because, this is now the sleeping quarters for
the family.

Great job. I love the color scheme with the fieldstone and gothic mix. And that roof, wow. Beautiful.

Right up to your usual brilliant standards. I love all those little extra details, which take 5 times longer than stacking a few blocks. Well conceived, ingeniously designed, and beautifully painted. And now...trumpet fanfare...the biggy - it doesn't LOOK like a dice roller.
Oh, and in making that roof, with it's two dormers, you have won the prize for doing my next roof tutorial - "adding dormers to your roof" :-)

Fantastic!
I love the contrasts between the different block styles and the paint job is just great. This is going in my inspiration folder.

What a great build. If this is a lowly sewer technicians house I wonder what the mayors house looks like! You have a great design here in this building that carries off using different types of blocks very well.
Excellent painting and excellent design. A little too ornate for my tastes but it really looks great and would be a center piece on any table top. Now you have me wondering what the mayors house would look like!

The is a fabulous building. Decievingly simple in shape it actually hosts non-stop architectural action! The combination of different blocks types built from ground up are impressive and the finishes are first class. I would like to be able to see how you have configured the interior to control the dice. My only critisism is that the gables roof is a tad short but this is very minor. Top stuff.
Cheers
