Thanks for reading.


That was my "little" Tutorial for the Minetorials : Tutorials with a Minecraft Theme contest,.
this did not only teach you theme, but it did also teach you how to do a some very usefull detail tips, like make roof stick out 1 block (seen very many house that doesnt do that ) some edge around doors etc. 

this took me about 5 days to make, (its very long) so a diamond is much apriciated.

sorry about the bad quality of the picture, here is a dowloadable version in HD: CLICKME

Just kidding! Nice tutorial. I really like the "Nordic" house, as on roleplaying servers, I tend to play as like, a Nordic Stonemason, etc. Thanks for the help! I've never been able to build an actual home. 

This really helps people, and I appreciate the work and effort you put into it. Thank you!

It is a really good tutorial for starters, not very detailed...The houses are very simple and "noobish" I guess but it's s good start

it is ment for starters, if your good enough to build, you dont need to read a tutorial. thats pretty much the whole point of tutorials.


but thanks though

the houses are really cool and good tutprial but the japaneese house isnt really good the traditionel japaneese houses are in an other style

well, the japanese house was just a simple house, to show the needs for a house to look japanese, ofc there is many ways to improve it, to look mo traditionel, but i think doing that, would cause more confusing for the viewers, and would cause a even longer photo

wow, this is excellent. perhaps you would include something about the Fibonacci series and how it relates to building design? (particularly for the curve of the Nordic building's roof)
EDIT: oh, I also think that this is definitely going to win the contest (or at least has a very good chance of winning)
