Building (plans for) building buildings (by) building buildings

As i may have mentioned in my last post i have become the owner of what can only be described as a f**ktonne of waste cardboard thanks to my local faceless northern european notevensoddingassembled furniture hellhole;

Waste cardboard in its natural habitat.

 Now the last time this happened i ended up making this:

Flat pack castle

 Now that has turned out to be a great little piece of 'utility' terrain but for the forthcoming campaign games it would be nice to have some other buildings. The castle was far less impressive a build than it looks, huge pieces of re-enforced card ended up being prefab walls covered in paper mache so it was actually quite simple (even i could cope with it!). It also represents my only terrain build to date so i think i will need to start rather small. With that in mind i have been serching the webbington o' worldes for ideas.

 I reckon i need a few Olde Albilande executive rustic studio style dwellings ( or hovels as they are better known). They should be an easier way in to building...er.....buildings and help me learn as i go, i mean its not like they have to look neat or anything!. My previous technique of paper mashe over thick card should do the trick and provide 'rustic' texture (shite and straw bricks will have been lumpy i 'spose.....depending on old daisy's diet of course!). As i said in my previous post time is the biggest problem at the moment so im hoping the fact that i can build a few of these in stages may help me do bits and bobs in whatever time i can muster.

.......on a related note if you type Medieval hovel into google images you get this:
