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...

Lee, I agree with Howard, GREAT pics! You did an awesome job with lighting!! I love the Christmas tree behind the window, what an AWESOME touch!!!!

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...

Love the lighting. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

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...

love the roof. Cool terracotta color too.

Steve

Great job, Lee!!! Can't wait to see it with the base and landscaping!!

Lee, that looks AWESOME!! I LOVE the roof!!!!!!! You really nailed it, its got all the proper feeling of a Spanish Villa, can't wait to see the finishing touches!

No doubt about it; definitely a Spanish Villa!

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