Title: Othertime Inn [Roof Almost done! 3/8]
Post by: Sangennaru on 17 April 2009, 07:45:43 PM: Hi! This summer, when I was preparing my final test for high school, I needed some distractions, and I prepared a 3D model on Maya (I'm Really bad whith this program!) of a really big house. Then I started building it whith various materials, but I dropped the project when i passed the exam. (92/100!!!)

Then, some weeks ago, I found some images of really cool houses 'round the web, so I gave a new life to my project. Here's what I did since now... I'll post new pics every new part I'll do! :)

This is the external view. Of course, I haven't make the exteriors, so it looks still like a plain foam sheet... I'm working on it!

(http://i41.tinypic.com/bhznr5.jpg)

As you see, there's a lot of rooms inside... Here's some...

(http://i42.tinypic.com/2ujnh4k.jpg)

And more...

(http://i39.tinypic.com/21lv7h0.jpg)

Here's the first floor... It tooks 2 days, but i make all the floor covered whith balsa... it looks great, and I hope that, When I paint it, it will take approximately THIS colour!

(http://i44.tinypic.com/5dl0yv.jpg)

I'm waiting for your severe Judgement... :-I :-I :-I

(i've started the same topic here and in Workbrench.... I hope it's legal... please mods, tell me otherwise! :) )

Post by: Sangennaru on 19 April 2009, 10:03:43 PM: yeah, maybe you're right! It has to be finished, before saying anything! anyway, I made some proofs, and I have mastered all the colour schemes (like the roof one!)... I hope to finish it in 2 weeks... :)

Post by: Sangennaru on 28 July 2010, 10:15:04 PM: sorry for reviving this OLD thread, but i've finally took of the dust from this big project (finally!!!) with my new modular stuff i'm producing and casting (and selling in the next future! )

for now i've just added some roofs, that I cast pretty fast.
the remaining will be glued in the next days:

Looking very nice for a WIP - look forward to seeing it finished and your modular building bits going on sale... :D

Post by: Sangennaru on 31 July 2010, 08:43:45 AM: Better imgs done this morning:

that should be the overall style of the building. But i'm planning to patch a lot of resin details i've sculpted some days ago, on the other parts of the building! :)

Post by: white knight on 31 July 2010, 08:52:16 AM: Those roof pieces are great. I think I'll want to buy lots of your stuff. :)
Title: Re: [WIP] Othertime Inn, a playable 28mm fantasy Building [Pics Heavy]
Post by: Sangennaru on 31 July 2010, 09:03:48 AM: also the six... small wooden things under the roof are resin bits!

dunno why i sculpted them, but i like the effect! :P
Title: Re: Othertime Inn [Roof part Completed! 31/7]
Post by: Mad Doc Morris on 31 July 2010, 09:16:01 AM: Very much like the warped roof. :-*
In fact that's something I loved the most about Forgeworld's buildings, 'cause it adds so much reality. If the roof pieces were available separately, without the gable, so that one could use them in any angle, I would be in.

Keep up the great work! :)

I was even teaching my 2 year old son the difference between daleks and cybermen this morning using my Dr Who minis! >:D

Next lesson - Orcs and Trolls!

Back on topic meanwhile ( ::)) when might these fantastic modular building bits be on sale?
Title: Re: Othertime Inn [Roof part Completed! 31/7]
Post by: Sangennaru on 31 July 2010, 01:53:45 PM: for shure they will be in september. Now maybe i could, but i really don't know where i leave, so... I can just sell some of them.

you think that posting on the market section is the best?

Post by: rob_the_robgoblin on 01 August 2010, 04:40:51 PM: That is seriously stunning. I wish I had the ability to craft something like that.
Title: Re: Othertime Inn [Roof part Completed! 31/7]
Post by: Mad Doc Morris on 01 August 2010, 05:08:30 PM: I see! Thought the roof comes with the gable attached. If it is separate, i.e. only the shingles and the baulks, that's very cool!
I want to build some kind of pitched roof for a small tower. There should be a rather acute angle for the roof - difficult to explain in English. :?
Something like that:

Title: Re: Othertime Inn [Roof part Completed! 31/7]
Post by: Sangennaru on 01 August 2010, 06:11:41 PM: no - no gable at all. i just cast the roof part, if you want to make the gable you have to cut it and glue!

now making the tower. after that only small corrections! :=

Title: Re: Othertime Inn [More painted! 1/8]
Post by: Sangennaru on 03 August 2010, 09:13:54 PM: im' painting the upper floor right now, but i'm not really convinced about my painting... funno, it looks a bit too...monochromatic!:(
Title: Re: Othertime Inn [More painted! 1/8]
Post by: Sangennaru on 03 August 2010, 10:26:00 PM: here it is:

not totally convinced about the colour scheme, but i think taht is acceptable. maybe i could make something better, but i've no time and no energies! :P
all the detail are still missing, gonna paint them too! dont' worry lol

Post by: Sangennaru on 03 August 2010, 10:26:42 PM: Edit: the brownish orange part is the primered wall. it should become like the other one: almost white!
Title: Re: Othertime Inn [Roof Almost done! 3/8]
Post by: Thantsants on 03 August 2010, 11:12:35 PM: Wowee! Looking good! 8)

Any tips on the lovely effect on the roofing tiles and the walls?

I think the colour scheme is great but perhaps the chimneys look a little clean? Watered down black ink wash and a bit of moss and lichen maybe?
Title: Re: Othertime Inn [Roof Almost done! 3/8]
Post by: former user on 03 August 2010, 11:19:22 PM: monochromatic?
well, when things get really old, colour fades, everything gets dirty and sooted - can't help that

what You could do is add colourful details

that's a good point. i think i'll add some gras or just some weathering, for those chimneys! :)

@former user, I'll paint those shield as colourfull as i can, i think that some colours are strongly needed! :)

Post by: Sangennaru on 23 August 2010, 11:13:50 AM: ok, i' ve officially paused the work for the 4th time: it stessed me too much, i'll take it back when i'l be more relaxed! (ergo 2 months, i assume)
