Good morning Howard,
My camera is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28. I purchased it used on eBay and it has been the best camera I have ever owned...

Thank you for your kind words. I am beginning to see that I tend to overthink these things... I start out with the goal to do a very simple house in the style of the traditional houses and then my OCD kicks in and it gets out of control.. LOL... But I do enjoy it very much so all is good...

Good morning everyone,
I have finished the roof of the Villa. I layered strips of coffee insulation cardboard to simulate a tile roof. The house is finished now, I just have to do the base and landscaping.
I have some very thin red pin-striping tape that I am thinking of putting on the columns in a spiral to give it a more Christmas look. I might also make some small bows from the material...

Great roof--very clever and authentic looking (I live in a Spanish-tile-roofed house). Great color and texture.
