So, working along with the Stavekirke model, I've decided to work on a simpler house to work on layouts/textures as an entry for Papercuts 2016. Hoping to get this done in approximately 2 weeks, here is a small laketown house concept, it is just about ready to start doing layouts for: I am going to try to do this with interiors if possible, but it might just be a simple model depending on time. I plan on getting little sleep before the end of the month!

I feel like I should hire you as the architect if my wife and I ever decide to build our own house ^^

Well, as usual my ambition exceeded my grasp, at least in the time required, which was not helped by my laptop deciding to freeze up on me for almost a full day. Anyways, been working out some methods of fold-flat construction, besides working on page layouts (17-18 pages, not including instructions) and texturing as well. White build images of fold flat construction: Top row is Upper Floor and Side Addition, middle is the ground floor top/2nd floor base, bottom is the ground floor walls and floor tile Ground floor and floor tile Upper floor roof/2nd floor base Upper floor top/2nd floor base underside, this makes sort of a boxtop structure: attaching 2nd floor walls to 2nd floor base: 1st and 2nd stories assembled together: Attaching side addition to 2nd story: 1st and 2nd stories separated: 1st and 2nd stories with side addition: Fits together well enough it can be held upside down!

Well, I didn't make it into the Papercuts competition this year, wroking out some mechanical/attachment details and a flaky laptop slowed me up a bit, but here are some pictures of development to this point: From the left side to the right side: Roof parts, Eaves, roof and ridge. Center is the walls for the side expansion, second floor, and first floor. At the right are the tiles for the second floor and ground floor Here are some pictures of he first and ssecond floor assembled together And a few of the building with the main roof added: This one shows the first floor entry under the balcony

That's very nice, indeed, but I think I'd change the texturing to stone walls for the ground floor and half-timbered (dark wooden beams and (structured off)white for the upper level. The wood-only look it has right now reminds me too much of frontier houses in the old west, if you know what I mean.

The texturing is based on lake dwellings from the Pfahlbau Musuem in Germany ( www.pfahlbauten.com/), and influenced a bit by the laketown in The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug and Snowwhite and The Hunstman, and also some reconstructions of some Nordic villages as well.

but... but... but... the houses in that museum are reconstructions of stone age houses. The style is totally different to your house. And it doesn't look very Nordic to me, either... Okay, I can see Laketown there, totally. But it still reminds me most of those gold rush time buildings out in the town of "Somewhere Gulch" along the Yukon, if you know what I mean. But hey, I don't want to talk you out of using this texture. It's just that I see the house in a more medieval/fairy tale style... ^^ Btw. I want to visit this museum for ages now, sadly I never find the time to go south during the summer.

Well, working on cleaning up the layouts and outlines a bit better since I didn't make the Papercuts this year, but still planning on releasing a free version of this. I might include a version with different textures on it as a paid model as well.

I might include a version with different textures on it as a paid model as well. PWYW single layer version and then paid multi-layered version with options sounds like a good plan. I was looking at that roof peak and the window shutter previews and it occurred to me that this would be a good setting for some kooky teenage monster hunters to investigate.

Yeah, and I would have succeeded with my game, if it had not been for you meddling kids...

BTW -- Dave Winfield did a class on building paper models, and the vehicle that they voted to do was his updated Mystery Machine. The class can be located at www.papermodelers.com/forum/tips-tricks/36704-koolwheelz-mystery-machine-group-build-tutorial.html?highlight=mysteryI didn't have a chance to get in on that (Papercuts was going on), but I started on it Monday and last night Oh, yeah, Dave is color blind, so the yellow has been updated to the proper green
