An Unwelcome Visitor

Post by soccerkid6 » Mon Aug 20, 2012 11:20 am

A visit from the neighborhood tax collector is never pleasant...

The house has a full interior

May I know what was the dragon knight, who stood behind the peasant, doing?

Was that a secret hiding place locating under the roof?

House is neat. It inspired me to build one in my medieval village. The best concept was that the multiple uses of "Light Bluish Gray Panel 1 x 4 x 5 with Window" did not make the house looking like a castle by adding another layer of structure in the front. How did you make this layer not falling apart from these panel?

The dragon knights are backing the tax collector up if the peasants try and make trouble, the loft is for the apprentice. The pillars in front are brick modified 1x2 logs in stacks, I hooked them up to the wall panels at the top of each pillar. If this doesn't make sense I can take a picture :-)

Not bad, Yo! I'd like to see it if you broke up the color a little on the roof and bricks... you know, add some "character" :P

Thanks, it is still a new house and the owner is a mason so I don't think it will have much color variation yet :-)

I like that it feels detailed without overwhelming.
