frigidweirdo Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Okay, so the town hall remains unfinished. I got kind of bored and the progress was slow going. Also because I'm worried about over exerting my eyes, I've moved away from doing things exactly as they should be, or as best as I can. I've gone back to doing Ploenlein in Rothenburg, but making it my own somewhat too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frigidweirdo Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Some new photos, edited to get rid of the rubbish out the back. I've glues most of it together except the tower on the left. Time to start on the buildings to the right now, once summer is over and I get some energy back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhouse Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Looks more wonderful each time I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frigidweirdo Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Seems to have been a while. I've spent the last half a year doing the other side of the road. Next stop is another tower with an entrance into the city that'll nearly double the size but with a lot less work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frigidweirdo Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) I've moved on from what I was doing. I've found that Sketchup is a great tool for doing this stuff. Instead of trying to get my head around 3D stuff in my head I can get it all organized on the computer and make it with a lot more creativity and accuracy. I've changed the way I do windows to make them look a little more medieval. I'm still trying to work on make it look better. This is more or less what I've been doing in the last year. The last three buildings are quarantine buildings as I've not been able to work because of the Coronavirus since the end of January. The last three buildings the photo is a little strong because I edited it on my phone before sending it, I think it'd have looked better original now, but hey.

frigidweirdo Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 I was going to post this stuff in January, but I forgot the password and then got locked out and now it's May.... uh oh. This is the end of the build, I got bored and have now moved onto to something a little more vertical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frigidweirdo Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 The new model got changed a lot, having difficulties getting all the towers to point in the same direction, no matter what I see to do with it (the one at the back).

bootneck Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 That is a very complex model. Good show! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cklasse Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Amazing buildings. It would be nice to see you build the Neuschwanstein castle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried doing real things, and it's difficult because of a lack of information. Some parts of things are well known, right around the corner maybe no photos. So I find it easier to make my own, and I can make it more stylish too (hopefully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SprueMan Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 It looks very nice. Some of your older photos are not visible to me (I only see dead links..) I dont know if it is just this work PC that is doing it..? How do you display these? I too love architecture, and would like to build a few buildings (things like Fallingwater, Savoye residence, Farnsworth house etc.), but the problem is what to do with them when they are finished! They are bigger in volume than for instance planes or cars and dont really fit on shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are bigger in volume than for instance planes or cars and dont really fit on shelves. I put the photos on Facebook, and then posted the link here. So, in theory they should work, but many don't seem to. In fact I can't even see the pictures I posted recently. I don't really display them. They're on a shelf, I never really get to a finishing point on anything, so I just kind of dump them. The one I'm making now is about 25cm by 30cm, though I've made a wall that will extend that a bit. It sits on my desk waiting for more stuff to be added.

The pics will show there, but if opened in a new tab , in time, you get this "URL signature expired" So, they will show for a couple of weeks, and then expire. Since you don't have masses of images, Flickr would likely work well. There are other options for photo hosts. Certainly one of the more unusual threads on here, and, was suggested by @Badder, some construction pics would be interesting. HTH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually use the 'large' which is 1024x550 ish. like this in fact, which is 768x1024, which is the same as what you posted. 84 by , on Flickr I edited out your name, but it's up on flickr. Very neat and interesting work, by good to include something to give scale in the occasional image. HTH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also managed to find the image edit function with control and right click. Edited October 21, 2022 by frigidweirdo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
