That's a bold plane, I hope to see it completed.

Stunning piece of terrain! It will make every tavern brawl an event to speak of for generations!

Glad you like it.
Here a peek inside the first floor living accommodation for the Inn keeper and his family.

What a great piece of terrain. Aside from the occasional bar brawl, I think it would be a great stage to set the beginnings of a larger adventure. Meet the stranger in the corner who tells you a tale, a bar keep who has heard rumors from haggard travelers, or the soldier who stumbles through the door only to fall dead clutching a bloody note in his hand. The Inn is a staple set piece for role playing!

Great work.  Most importantly I appreciate that it's designed for game-play.  The exterior staircase, many awnings/decks, numerous entrances and rooms, etc.  I love seeing a large building which is versatile enough to almost throw a full game inside.  Nicely done.

Very cool project there and kudos for sticking to it! Because a tavern like that can quickly become an endless endeavor I think. :D At the very least it takes a LOT more work than one would think in the beginning. It's looking great already.

Last week, I got to spend a couple of evenings working on my Fantasy Inn project



I had felt that the Inn was a little understaffed for it's size, and as we had some of the lovely Otherworld Miniatures NPC's in stock at work I painted a batch of them up to bolster the catering team.



The Inn also needed customers so I painted nine seated customers. 3 of them were Citadel Miniatures from the good old days, and the other 6 were Sally 4th 'The Crowd' miniatures.



I then adjusted some files for 3D printing chairs to reduce height and stretch width until they were the perfect size for the miniatures.
Further details and lots more photos on my hobby blog@

That is just so cool. I can practically hear the bard singing over the clank of beer steins from here.

The scope of the fantasy inn project has grown a little, as is often the way with my hobby projects..

I have just made the first YouTube video about the project....

What he said.

Also, you do not have to limit it to fantasy terrain as, with the addition of period furniture it could used right up to modern day and beyond.

Over the last week or so I have expanded the terrain around the Inn to include more yard, orchards and a kitchen garden together with an entrance to the beer cellar.







I've filmed a new video and loaded to You Tube that covers all the new bits.

Blackstone Heath is my terrain project for D&D and skirmish gaming that combines 3D prints and traditional landscape modelling. This week we add (among other features) a stable block.
