thats the first time in weeks i've actually had to wait for a picture to load ... i'd suggest next time you save as a compressed jpg - 2.0mb for a picture is a little much don't ya think?
the house is interesting... however i'd strongly suggest that what you do to start with are the outlines of what your making, once you have the basic shape out of the way you can then use the cut and extrude tool to add detail.
modeling comes downto a single rule, "never waste a move" ... it means if you model looks oki with a box then there is no point in making it a box with little details for the bricks, let the texture take on that job
I pride myself that i don't kill...
well not without a good reason
