So I decided to make Obi-wans House as my first official Dio. First stage is styrofoam with toothpicks holding the entire house together with glue. Then I am going to add non-sanding grout to cover the entire house giving it a tough skin. Then painting it and giving it a desert dirty look.

I had no idea you were a dio maker. Looks great so far.

Nobody did cause I never had or have time to make them. I mean I know all about making them and making them similar to the pro-builders but again no time. Now that I got time, I am working on this project for the hall of fame. =D

Another update with the bed and carpeting. I also moved the pillars further down and cut the wall near the pillar to add the wall near obi's bed for the stove.

Started to add the non-sanding grout. I am going to re-modify the house and taking out the bathroom/hallway section just to focus more on the main living room/upstairs area.
