I think you need to have a library/Museum/College or all three in one building.  Of course, it would have a horribly dark secret just waiting to be discovered.

Thanks chaps ....  are these Chuthulu (sp?) references?  :D

Anyways, some progress made with what will be a joiners workshop (chairs, cabinetry, window frames, etc).

The space as it was:



The space starting to fill:





It will have a pent roof with windows in it. The wall height will be built up on the tile edge side using timber cladding... as if the building height has been raised.

The layout works for hand and photography access into the pub yard.

I’ve finished the joinery workshop main build, just needing very thin balsa strips to create the horizontal wood cladding to the first floor extension, after which the roof will be trimmed to size and tiled.

The area directly in front of the workshop entrance will also receive flagstones.



The workshop is positioned behind the large pub and the butchers .



The pent roof permits one’s hand to reach into the pub yard



Only the one small window on this flank as this can be a ‘butt’ side for positioning alongside other tiles that have buildings up to the edge.



Like all the other buildings, it’s accessible (I might add a landing strip for minis positioned on the upper floor).

Thanks Nick. Making fast progress but there is still a lot to do. That said, to complete phase one I still need to spec and order three more custom buildings...... :o Next tile to be worked on will be the church.  :D

Are you going to paint it all at once everything is assembled?

I like the ‘attic’ windows.

Forgive my curiosity but is there a precedent for that style of roof at the rear of a residential street?

Yes I’ll probably paint them at the same time Nick, as my workspace is such that it’s easier and quicker  to progress  lots of one thing then lots of another.

Forgive my curiosity but is there a precedent for that style of roof at the rear of a residential street?

Your curiosity is forgiven  :D

It’s very specific question, for which the very specific answer doesn’t really provide the answer. But anyways, yes, I found one image of a Pent roof building (it’s not clear if it’s commercial or residential) backing onto a residential street. (The photo is from Bethnal Green, c.1900)

That said, is it really a pent roof or is it a lean-to? It goes to tile edge and any adjacent tile might have buildings that butt up against it (note that there aren’t any windows or doors on the tall side of the workshop, purposefully so as to facilitate this).

Does the fact that it’s commercial rather than residential make any difference? Well it’s a commercial tile (what with pub and butchers) but it can  be butted against residential tiles. Whitechapel at the time was a mix of commercial and residential properties on each other’s doorsteps. Don’t forget that I have a slaughterhouse with all its resulting unpleasantness and  there was actually one in amongst the houses. There’s also the gaming compromise that comes into effect, as I am picking from a mixture of elements that existed over an area and then condensing them  into a  fixed table-size space. If it was a Scale model it’d be less interesting. So the table isn’t a representation of a residential street, it’s a compacted portrayal of a mixed urban area.

Finally, I wanted something a bit organic to break up all the brick work. I’m imagining this building to originally have been a single story - perhaps akin to the mortuary the Ripper victims were taken to - which has been subsequently extended upwards (and being that it’s occupied by wood workers they’ve used wood).



EDIT 16/1/2020

I’ve now found some images of a Victorian pent roof building at the rear of a Victorian public house, the building having been used as stables, beer storage and as a workshop. Aside from being entirely brick built, whereas mine is half timber clad, it’s pretty spot on for my construction in terms of shape, positioning, and use. Only the shell exists as the interior of the building has recently been converted into a home.

Images are attached below.  :)

Yes, makes sense. When I was referring to residential I meant two story terraces. I know you have industry there but it's still technically a residential area (for me anyway).

Clapboard will be a nice texture addition, I need to do more for Limehouse.

Sure.  :) and the clapboard was actually inspired by the ones you’ve already made  ;)
