Title: Townhouse - Neighbours added 22nd July and 17th December
Post by: Svennn on July 16, 2012, 07:34:10 PM
I decided I wanted something a bit different and partly inspired by Thunderchickens London and the spate of EotD boards decided to do a more urban orientated board.  I am sure the cliches will follow, the hotel, laundry, shops etc. but I decided to start with the back streets so I will need a few more of these.

Lovely! Very nice work.

Alas, now you needto build a large wrecking ball to knock it down prior to its redevelopment for the Beijing Olympics.

It's not just the design and overall build quality I think is great its the painting too. The brickwork is outstanding which means another visit to Svennn Towers is on the cards for a tutorial.  ;)

I go away for a week and this is what you get up to whilst I am way.

It's most certainly peachy.

Is that roofing textured plasticard or something you cobbled together yourself?  8)

That is very nice work! How did you model the door texture on the second house?

What is "EotD"? Regardless, what setting and rule system do you plan to use them for?

Cheers chaps :)

WK - bigger pics on the 2nd one just for you. Main roof is card strips and bamboo skewers, wall tops embossed plasticard.

WuZhuiQiu (didnt you have a hit with Devilgate Drive? ;D)  EotD is a gothic horror game from Westwind. I will not be using it with these, it was just that folk such as Thunderchicken and Scrapwelder had been showing town layouts and this will be a town too. In China, not London though.

The doors have "granny grating" inserts.  Its plastic embroidery sheet cut down into the patterns and glued into holes in the doors.

There is no fourth side lol

Its been a good while and this is only a crappy phone taken pic but as I have been able to do so little in recent months I wanted to show the latest addition to what will hopefully become my town

Love it Svennn, especially the door.  Any chance that you can tell us how you made it and what of?  Love the "gritiness" of these builds and look forward to seeing pics together as your town develops.

Thanking you

Lon, I got brief access to the laser cutter at work so quickly drew the door and cut it from 5mm acrylic. I did the frame seperately so that I could offset it. 

Jimbob, I am doing some rendered ones to match yours :D They are a lot quicker to do as well.

I have a couple more done including an Oshiro one (thank you James) but no camera, come on Santa, so I will post them later

cheers
