I've had this set for YEARS...only used white..once

Edit: TWICE now...


It's thicker on the front because gravity is your enemy when using this stuff. Propping it up like I did for the pic made it all run off the floor and had to redo it. For now nothing to do but wait for the water to evaporate

Too bad no one POSTS when I am waiting for this stuff to DRY!

You will understand that I have to take some liberties with my design, deviating from the "real thing" but only to allow figure movement and to retain my sanity from geometric hell



The furniture comes at the END of the build LDD

I have to say I am really impressed with how the floor has turned out, it reminds me of the floor that I saw in an old cottage once simple but very effective have to look into these at some point

I cant wait to see the furniture that will be a challenge even for you mate all that miniature design I can see madness setting in

Very cool Dave, and after seeing your amazing fallout "furniture" im excited to see what you do with this bad boy!

THanks Fellas!

Wood panels

very nice!

Thanks Rogue

It was a good weekend indeed!

Sincerely, I am sitting here slowly shaking my head with a smile on my face simply stating "Amazing" looks like i need to invent even more words now!

Just... Wow...

I agree with Galorn..

You're moving fast on this one, Dave! Speed and precision not that we expect anything less...

Keep up the great work!

Totally

Haha! Thanks guys!
Those damn Sackville-Bagginses!!

I think the picture can be captioned with this from the last chapter in the book:

And so they crossed the bridge and passed the mill by the river and came right back to Bilbo's own door.
"Bless me! What's going on?" he cried. There was a great commotion, and people of all sorts, respectable and unrespectable, were thick round the door, and many were going in and out-not even wiping their feet on the mat, as Bilbo noticed with annoyance.
If he was surprised, they were more surprised still. He had arrived back in the middle of an auction!There was a large notice in black and red hung on the gate, stating that on June the Twenty-second Messrs Grubb, Grubb, and Burrowes would sell by auction the effects of the late Bilbo Baggins Esquire, of Bag-End, Underhill, Hobbiton. Sale to commence at ten o'clock sharp. It was now nearly lunchtime, and most of the things have already been sold, for various prices from next to nothing to old songs (as is not unusual at auctions). Bilbo's Cousins the Sackville-Bagginses were, in fact, busy measuring his rooms to see if their own furniture would fit. In short, Bilbo was "Presumed Dead", and not everybody that said so was sorry to find the presumption wrong.

The return of Mr. Bilbo Baggins created quite a disturbance, both under the Hill and over the Hill, and across the Water; it was a great deal more than a nine days' wonder. The legal bother, indeed, lasted for years. It was quite a long time before Mr. Baggins was in fact admitted to be alive again. The people who had got specially good bargains at the Sale took a deal of convincing; and in the end to save time Bilbo had to buy back quite a lot of his own furniture. Many of his silver spoons mysteriously disappeared and were never accounted for. Personally he suspected the Sackville-Bagginses. On their side they never admitted that the returned Baggins was genuine, and they were not on friendly terms with Bilbo ever after. They really had wanted to live in his nice hobbit-hole so very much.

that was what I was thinking
damn those Sackville-Bagginses... stole Bilbo's spoons, caused Sam to find out about the ring... damn them...

Absolutely stunning work so far Dave! You certainly have your work cut out for you though

Where are you getting the furniture for it? Or are you making that too?

OH NO! I'm gonna buy it all from www.28mmhobbitikea.com

You are the 47th person to take a look at it and the first thing they ask is "where's the furniture?" I brought it to work today and same story..WTF?

I'm mostly curious because furniture would cause some issues in a gaming situation, but if you're mostly building it for display it would look awesome.

I am in total awe of how quickly you've put together the atrium.

LOL, I don't see any gaming value in the piece whatsoever, what am I gonna do, roll on a chart to see if Bomber chokes on a bone?

Where's the furniture Dave? /jk

Looking really good so far. What did you use to get the wood colour?

Floor tiles look good, are you going to leave them shiny or matt them down a bit?

and... are you going to make the whole build modular or one piece? If you're building all the rooms it may get a bit large and then be interesting as to how you'd do the removable roof/hill.

Thanks! The wood is just German Grunbraun primer, Didi's Magic Brown ink, and Vallejo "wood" highlights.

LOL, you guys assume I have a plan...that's cute

Cool.

Lol. I see, like me you go for the "see how it goes and solve issues as and when" approach.

Look forward to seeing what you come up with then.

well, you stocked up on blueprints, concept art, behind-the-scenes shots of the hobbit and other such source material, you have to have some kind of plan

Well, once I get past the curvature hell of the Parlour walls/Ceilings, I'll have more of a plan






There just isn't any use trying to plan the hill, or the furniture, or the removable roof or anything else at this point in time.
The only way to accomplish an impossible task is to break it down into manageable parts and work on them one at a time.

I'm working on building bag end in minecraft, I expect that's even worse from a design perspective

For a minute I thought you had made furniture then I realised they were set shots
