The Burning Rib - Part Two released!

[Mitch K]

of course the question is the time the building represents. In more modern times, fired brickwork is used for repair or exchange, and is most often on sight, as @Mitch suggests

Precisely. The ones I'm describing are +/-1650 - few much earlier, later ones are distinctly different.

[Sangennaru]

my style was meant to be a generic ECW-pirate-fantasy setting so i guess the look matches the historical period. for the wooden beam it was quite an inspiration for a composition need, the brickwork is actually about technique: i still dont have a VALID  method for plastered walls i've done some in the past, but i was looking at something more accurate. if i will manage to complete and sell this building, i'll certainly think at something!

[Sangennaru]

one side of the building is nearly finished in the outside. the insides will still need some work, but it's something. I'll add some plastering in a few hours, once the filler will be dry.

[Mitch K]

In terms of the validity of how the brickwork looks, I'd say it's perfect. Spot on. Small, slightly uneven bricks laid English bond. Have you considered a career in construction?

[Sangennaru]

Ok, i tried with plastering. I made some mess, even though i'm pretty satisfied with the final look i am not sure it's the right way to proceed.

Impressions?

I still have to put the nails, the metal strips and some chains somewhere. Plus ropes and other cute things.
I'll probably wait some days before the next update, i want to finish the second wall too, but i'm taken by my girlfriend in the next days. In one scenario i'll be completely overwhelmed by girly stuff, in the other one she will help me sculpting. Who knows. XD

wow, now i'm blushing!

anyway, i said i wasn't going to update the thread soon. I was lying.

I managed to start working in the interiors. I'm shaping each plank to fit the other lines and the rock edges, so it's taking a while. still, less than what you might think.



and that's the second part, proceeding as well.


cheers,
Jack

The interior looks even better! Very nice work.

[warburton]

Excellent work - really very good.

[snitcythedog]

Outstanding work.  Are you using regular plaster and your casting into the void method?  This is looking real pretty. 
Snitchy sends.

Umm... what kind of parlour this will be?
