Longhouse build

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.

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.

Wow. Those look great. I initially thought you had carved them.

Those central pillars are impressive. I thought they were carved as well.

Thanks, but I cant take the credit, as I cheated by press-molding.

A bit more progress:
The bits look a bit wonky still, as I don't want to glue anything down yet. Want to be able to adjust things while I go, as I have no fixed plans or measurements. It holds together pretty well for dry-fitting anyways.
This is rather large house obviously, so probably some chieftain's meadhall or something like that?

Your press-molding is inspiring!

Made some more progress, here's couple of shots as the walls are starting to come up. I think I am going add a secondary door at the side, nearer the back.

Looking good. Definitely add a second door, it adds a lot to playability. Looking forward to see where you take this
