Might as well hop in on this again. As much as I'd like to add to the ole' Space Hulk I planned on making some buildings for Rangers of Shadow Deep anyway, so "ruined farmhouse" it is

Nah ...go with an entire space hulk

Seriously through, interested to see what you come up with, although I might have to change my own plans.

I bought a 3D printer a couple of weeks ago and it has drawn me away from some of my other projects. Just to prove (mainly to myself

) that I'm still making a ruined house I started to lay out the foundation, and discovered that I'm the unusual position of needing to cast more bricks...

Walls will be foam core with balsa for timbers. Thatched roof and all that

Nothing special really so it should go quick once I get rolling.

Or make a smaller ruin? Nah. Forget I said that.

Tempting suggestion, although I'm building it for a Rangers of Shadow Deep scenario and it has a recommended size

My bad. I like the new layout.

Looks like you've got a nice start. When I played the Rangers of Shadow Deep scenario in question we just put two buildings together that were roughly the right size. It will be nice to see your build of a properly sized dedicated structure for the farm mission.

"We are friends. From Alladore."

Good start! Looking forward to the progress! I haven't reached "The Last Stand" yet but i'll need some inspiration for when I get there.

I haven't reached the Last Stand yet either

I should be working on Tor Varden!

Laid out the walls today. I may figure out the roof next (I don't usually enjoy figuring out how the angles of two gable roofs interact) or do the wood wall bracing.

Ah, a building that is actually realistic in its proportions ánd playable on the table

Great progress.

And beams, angles and gables ought to be just basic geometry, right? In my experience, the biggest challenge is making all cuts at the exact right angles, because even a single degree off can have dire results when it comes to fitting stuff together, although that probably says more about my capabilities as a crafter than anything else...

Good luck with the roof at any rate

Looking great Dr. Mathias. Great use of the Hirst stone walls. I look forward to the carpentry.

Blackwolf · « **Reply #12 on:** February 12, 2020, 07:52:53 PM »

This is going to be brilliant

AKULA · « **Reply #13 on:** February 12, 2020, 08:47:46 PM »

That sprung up quick

Great work, looking forward to seeing the next steps.

Good luck on the roofs!
