Nice result hiding those end joins; those always turn me off to laser cut buildings.

For sculpting the caulk would it go quicker to use a tool with multiple prongs? A fork or comb?

Excellent tutorial thank you

I'm impressed how fast your hands move :)

I would seriously recommend never getting caulk on your hands, however.

Have you tried colouring the caulk when making roofs ?

Thanks

Wow: clever!! Just trying to visualize but I think glueing the "layered" effect on with strips of card first is a very good idea! Am put off myself by teddy bear fur, so must try this!!
