It took a long time, but in the end, I finished it. I designated it as a gift for a friend, so it took more effort than usual. Most of the surfaces received business card reinforcements on the back, the internal reinforcements got the business card armor on the outside, and the inserts themselves were stuffed tight with paper remains to make them heavier. It can handle the wind and the occasional sneeze without stepping on a landmine. The surfaces are straight, and if you tap the roof, you hear wooden sound. Alas, not all went well. My hands are not steady as I would like them to be, thus the edging turned out sub-par. The frontal left (front right on the images) bent somewhat during gluing (the small zone which is not backed up by reinforcements). The model itself is splendid, the good parts are due to Christopher, and the faulty ones are due to... photographer, not my fault! ...drats, I took the pictures too!

I was making a joke about errors in the build.
Now that you mentioned it, the images are too dark. I'll have to pay attention in the future to optimize them a little before posting. I avoided it in the past, not to give an impression that I am attemping to hide the real appearance of the builds.
Thank you for the help and for the comment

Thank you for the help and for the comment I just set the levels in GIMP, spreading the tones out over more of the black-to-white spectrum--took less than a minute. Images like that really mess with the auto-exposure functionality of digital cameras, but you can usually straighten it out with Colors>Levels in a few seconds.
