Title: BSC2024 Ragnar's Turnip28 build
Post by: Ragnar on February 28, 2024, 08:50:53 AM: Yeah, haven't really got a solidified idea yet. Maybe one of the following:
Smithy
Bakery
Butchery
...

Good luck with whichever you choose.

Good luck!

Ooo, good idea. Thanks.

Post by: Ragnar on March 25, 2024, 08:35:06 AM: Ok, humble beginnings, especially compared to the other entrants.

"The finest architects and builders in all Cist were brought together to commence building the new tavern (name forthcoming). The tavern would become a place of refuge for footsore soldiers between the grueling campaigns of the never ending war"

Post by: Daeothar on March 25, 2024, 08:54:41 AM: Nice shape. And a good size too! :)
Title: Re: BSC2024 Ragnar's Turnip28 build
Post by: Ragnar on April 05, 2024, 05:45:44 AM: Thanks Daeothar.

Another small update. Base has now been cut out and shaped and some external structures added to the building.

Title: Re: BSC2024 Ragnar's Turnip28 build
Post by: Daeothar on April 05, 2024, 08:31:41 AM: I like it! The balcony is already adding interest to the plainest of the building's sides; great choice :)
Title: Re: BSC2024 Ragnar's Turnip28 build
Post by: Ragnar on April 06, 2024, 04:19:36 AM: Cheers chaps.

And yet another update.

Completed the small balcony
Built the stable
Built the pigpen

Thanks Lost Egg.

I am matching existing buildings so will be doing filler on the walls, weathering straight on to the filler and large ungainly tiles on all roofs.

Title: Re: BSC2024 Ragnar's Turnip28 build
Post by: Daeothar on April 15, 2024, 08:48:03 AM: Getting along nicely!

Once you start flinging filler at it, it'll make a leap in looks too is my experience! :)

Title: Re: BSC2024 Ragnar's Turnip28 build
Post by: McMordain on April 16, 2024, 09:08:57 PM: I like the look of this, but I have question regarding the filler. How much does the cardboard warp after the filler coat is applied?
Title: Re: BSC2024 Ragnar's Turnip28 build
Post by: Daeothar on April 17, 2024, 08:34:18 AM: Depends on the amount of water added I suppose.

But considering the subject matter, a bit of warpage might actually be fitting ;)

Thanks.

So, I have made two buildings in this style so far. I used no water, just filler and white glue mixed together and I don't believe there was any warping. There was some slight cracking at the corners but they are barely noticeable and would just add character anyway. ;D (as pointed out by Daethar)
Title: Re: BSC2024 Ragnar's Turnip28 build
Post by: Ragnar on April 18, 2024, 07:32:04 AM: Aaand, we are now at 'lockup' stage. Next up, add some external bits, oh and I better make a sign, then tiling and the build will be finished.

OT question:- how is everyone finding the image sizes? I am using a new service provider and they seem huge to me. Any problems loading these pages?

Post by: Daeothar on April 18, 2024, 08:12:44 AM: Looking good; getting there!

I'm having no issue loading the pictures myself, but I'm usually on high end connections anyway, so any delays in loading are usually on the other end. (I'm spoiled) I can't speak for everyone obviously, but to me at least, it's fine.

I like big pictures anyway :D
Title: Re: BSC2024 Ragnar's Turnip28 build
Post by: Ragnar on April 20, 2024, 02:38:54 AM: Some external details added including chimney construction.

Title: Re: BSC2024 Ragnar's Turnip28 build
Post by: Lost Egg on April 20, 2024, 09:50:32 AM: It's odd how adding a chimney kinda brings a building to life. Lovely work and I particularly like your picnic table & benches.

I must say I do find the combo of unpainted card and balsa very appealing.

Thanks Lost Egg!

Also, I hopes it's obvious but the outdoor furniture is sinking into the mud.

I plan to bog the walls and chimney up today (it's early here), we'll see how that goes.

Captain Snerk does not appear to approve.

Post by: Michi on April 25, 2024, 07:04:02 AM: By the way:

The chimneys are both a bit oddly placed, if one of the doors and one of the windows aren't supposed to be leading into a fireplace. ;)

Damnit! lol

I think you're right. You just cannot trust Cist architects.
Title: Re: BSC2024 Ragnar's Turnip28 build
Post by: Daeothar on April 25, 2024, 11:21:07 AM: It's fine, there's plenty of real world examples of really crooked chimneys bending and branching in all directions short of a complete loop.

So in the Turnip universe they would build like that without skipping a beet :D

Title: Re: BSC2024 Ragnar's Turnip28 build
Post by: Ragnar on April 28, 2024, 03:20:08 AM: I am calling this build complete.

Today, I completed the roof tiling, textured the ground, made and installed the manger, added duckboards and built the sign. I'll paint the sign before mounting it on the wall.

Post by: Daeothar on April 28, 2024, 07:13:51 AM: It also looks finished, if the tiles were copper ;)

The building is quite imposing actually. Must be the dearth of windows perhaps?

At any rate; an awesome piece of terrain. Curious to see the sign! :)

Thanks Daeothar!

I think you are right about the dearth of windows making it imposing, probably what sub-consciously drew me to the style.
Title: Re: BSC2024 Ragnar's Turnip28 build
Post by: Lost Egg on April 28, 2024, 09:59:21 AM: That is a solid looking building, as Daeothar says it will be very imposing on the table top; a worthy objective.

I too am looking forward to seeing what you put on the sign.
