Longhouse build

(1/13) > >>

Verderer:
I started on a viking style longhouse, here's a shot of the first stage...


I am not aiming for authenticity as such, just going by feel. I haven't decided yet whether I should do plank walls or wattle&daub, or should I do peat/thatch roof or shingles... shingles would be much more work though, so I inclined to the former.

I guess it really would depend on where this house would be, Nordic countries would more likely have all wood & shingles materials, and further down south, you could have w&t and thatched roofs (like saxons)? I really don't know much about the subject. Besides, if I use this in LoTR themed games, then it's not that important anyways.

OSHIROmodels:
Looks promising  :)

have you thought about a turf roof, could be interesting.

Verderer:
Could be, I will try to look for suitable terry cloth material in the shops. I do have teddy fur, so that would be the easiest option.

henryv:
Looks rather good to me, great start.

Verderer:
Quick shot of some central pillars i made for the hall, need to sand and clean these a bit after the putty sets.
