Re: 17thC England: UD 11/2 the only house in the village

An update after 9 months.....not too bad.

The beginnings of the first house in the village. It’s a GW Laketown house with the fishing paraphernalia shaved off and the boarding/tiles then covered with 0.25mm styrene. The altered style quite reminds me of the Dutch Quarter in Colchester, Essex.





I’d quite like a cobbled, gently curving (like an Old West movie set) main street with a string of attached houses either side, which have gardens to their rears, with maybe an Inn on one side ...... (message to self: don’t get distracted from Victorian Whitechapel!).

Randomly checked the thread out when it showed up on the Recents (love the houses) but stayed for the hedges on page 1, those are brilliant!  Need to figure out the look in 15mm for my ECW stuff.

Please do get distracted, that sounds like it would be amazing done to the same standard as your Whitechapel build.

Well, OK, maybe allow yourself to get distracted once the current phase of the Whitechapel build is done?

Re: 17thC England: UD 11/2 part deux: the plan for the hamlet
« Reply #22 on: February 11, 2020, 07:27:33 PM »
Thanks all  :D

I think I can run this concurrent with Whitechapel  ;)

The plan for the hamlet on the hill. The base board will be about 35cm x 70 cm once angled beading has been added for the basis of slopes.

Requires 6 kits, to create 6 houses, 1 large, 4 medium and 1 small, all different. (Edit: I used 5 kits)





I’ve decided to leave the Inn for the time being.

That’s a good layout and can be expanded on at a later date  8)

Looks great but that road is going to be very narrow once buildings go in on the opposite side - will you be able to get your hand in between the buildings?

Thanks Giles  :)

The roadway between the buildings is 7cm (measured at roof rather than base), which will take my hand. Obviously if it’s too tight with the buildings laid out then I can reconfigure, but I’m pretty confident it will work. I’m keen for a bit of claustrophobia in the street, if I can achieve it.

Thanks Martin.

I’m definitely going to raise the building on a sole plate but am presently pondering the need for a chimney....

That's going to be great. I like the design of the village a lot. :)
