A first look at my pure paper solution for airship stands!
And a preview of the current (horizontal) wing type sails. In addition to the "fan" sails I have added what I call "plane wing" sails.
If you want to go full creative mode you could even mix front and tail wings from different version for more variety!

More testbuilds with the first "fan" sail/wing type. I also added color customization for the sails so I tried to match the sails with the hull colors.
First the "jollyboat" ...
... and the gunboat.
Working on more options including side (vertical) sails and rear rudder sail!

I love this idea!!!!!! So many campaign ideas, so little time . . . Women, airships or campaings ... it's always one or the other

I am starting with the smaller three boats of my series: rowing boat, jolly boat and gunboat. Here is the basic idea shown with the rowing boat. You have a boat (could also be 2D) and then you create a wing part. Put them together on a stand and you got an airship!

I recently started working on some addons to turn my Pirate Fleet Builder ships into airships! The main idea is to create some wings/propellors/turbines etc. that will fit with the current ships (but could also be kitbashed to fit with other ships). Here are some sketches I made to get me starting after some research ...

And a couple more with paperminis (you know who! ... do I have to say the name? ... OK by the great printableheroes )
Combining the barracks/armory with the tower ... adding a nice base and some bits for details!
... and having a bit of fun photoshopping a background in!

Here are some pics of the interior split build filled up with my Basic Bits. Upper floor first! Some space to eat, drink and rest And the the lower level ... weapons and storage space

Hi guys, this year I had the pleasure to collaborate with gothique on his Venetian themed entry. I was interested in working on the geometry of the stairs and how easy to build but also how sturdy to use I could make them. This was my main inspiration. I also had some fun with texturing this model so it would fit into the main project seamlessly. So my entry will be the stairs part. Use them textured or just as inspiration for an alternate way of building stairs! This is a prototype white build
For help on building the stairs check out this build thread here on the forum.
Enjoy! Chris

Hi guys, I am happy to announce the release of these bunk beds on my Patreon.
I made these to fill up the barracks level of my upcoming Grenzwacht building. Enjoy!

I'm thinking they would be easy to mod into metal sci fi bunks for my off world habitats and bunkers. great idea! I'll try to squeeze that reskin in sometime soon!

I am liking those bunkbeds. Awesome! Now I have to build some more to fill the barracks room

Here's more WIP shots of the upcoming Grenzwacht building I am working on. For now I am doing exterior builds to test how the assembly works out.
This is the minimal layout without any additions.
And this is a build where I am adding the different extensions to the front and back... And finally a look at the completed version of this build. I have added a wooden "roof-holder" part for the low extension so the roof doesn't just float in mid air
Very happy how this turned out. Next up is an interior build, with removable upper floor. So this will take some time to get right. Also I will make some bits on my Patreon to fill up the interior like weapon racks and bunk beds!

Here is a look at the textured tower! It can either be without a roof or with an upper chamber and roof!
And here are options you can choose from ... color tints, dark skin and configuration of door and window placement!

When I first showed this in my discord channel the first feedback I got was: INTERIOR gaming!!! So I made some adaptions to the geometry in order to take the upper floor out for access of the lower level.
At this stage I am ready to start texturing the model!

For a while now I have been thinking about doing a castle. This would be a larger endeavour and I haven't got a clear vision yet how I am going to achieve that, so I wanted start with something smaller to get my feet wet in the right direction. So I decided I will start working on an outpost setting which I call "Grenzwacht" (German for border guard). I first worked on developing an interesting enough geometry for the core building by starting with the old boring house shape and then adding castle like extensions and finally throwing a tower in because you always need a tower on the border!
The idea of the main building was that the lower level would hold the armory/storage area and the upper level would be barracks/living area.
I wanted this to be a stone building and here was the first sketch of how I would go about texturing this building.
To get things started I created the rough geometry in Blender and worked out the unfold to get the parts for building this.
Next I made a first test build of the core building ...
... and the tower! You could use them separate or combine them into larger structures.

My vacation got in the way of answering ... so now that I am back ... Wow, really nice. Dig that last pic! I really love these Viking paperminis by Okumarts! I followed your development on facebook. This is a spectacular product. Thank you Glenn! Nice! I'm sharing this to the Finnish Viking Fighters' Facebook group. That's always most welcome!
I have already started working on a Knarr prototype so hopefully that will be a thing anytime soon. But I am also working on a new "direction" which is medieval fantasy castle&village stuff. First will probably be a barracks/armory building. Not sure which one will hit the streets first

Simple model but added some sailing rig with sowing thread!
Here's a look with some minis for scale comparison And here's one with some paperminis by David Okum
so what do you say? any Vikings interested to come on board?

OMG just noticed that I have totally neglected my basic bits of the current year here! Will wait another month and then post a summary. I think I have added some really nice bits this year

I don't know why I haven't thought about this before but I got some feedback that some would like to see a wagon version where the door is on the backside and a seat in the front ... so I am preparing this free upgrade for the wagon set (coming end of the week).
Just had to add a new page with the textures swapped around and added the bench part and made the platform longer ... hoping folks will like this.

Hi everyone! I am happy to announce I have created this little model of a travel wagon! This is the simple build with red as main color and yellow as accent color. The undercarriage is in yellow too.
If you want to go advanced, you can build something like this! And if you need to go inside, there's option for interior.
The upper wagon and the undercarriage can be built separated, so you could swap out the upper part with other (upcoming) wagon versions!
I hope you'll enjoy this model Chris
