A Warm Welcome - Building Lake-Town
« on: 14 November 2014, 10:48:53 PM »
Hi all. After watching the 9 hours of extras on the Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug Extended Edition I was inspired to have a go at building my own Lake-Town. Starting with what will be an Inn. I'm expecting to get use from these building across various games in fantasy and pirates. Ironically being drawn back to Tolkien for my gaming needs comes after selling off nearly all my Lord of the Rings stuff  ;D

WiP so far...

Nice balsa build!  :-* I like the sporadic shapes of the inn.

Oh isn't that always the case. :(

Cheers guys. I'm hoping I can stay the course on this project, at least until I have half a dozen buildings made. Knowing me though I'll be distracted by some other project lol
I'll at the very least finish and paint this one.

Considering how this could develop from such a BEAUTIFULLY crafted start, it boggles the mind...well boggles it more than its normal state in my case. Keep up the FANTASTIC WORK!
