Okay, so this is old, but I need an opinion (or even two):

No interior; apply within.

Thanks

Well, its nice. I especially like the lower, stone, portion. Its hard to go wrong with alternating corner-stones; and the slopes on the bottom look good.

However the upper portion does need some work. I think if you didn't have that middle portion sticking out, but rather flush with the rest it would look better. I like the angles in that section, but not how it sticks out.

Overall a good design, and I can see it turning into a sweat MOC, especially with an interior... hehe

I disagree.

We see so many tudor houses, all of which look more or less the same, that it is nice to see something deviate from the norm. I actually like the upper portion because it sticks out. It gets incredibly dull to look at hundreds of tudor-style houses which all look the same. I'm glad to see that you've taken the time to mix it up a bit.

A nice effort.

Later.

Have to agree with Blueandwhite. The top section is very sexy, I like it a lot. In not a fan of the bottom slopes personally. Tudor houses deliberately had the smallest ground level footprint possible as it was how tax was worked out. Very nice model otherwise.
