I needed a little break from the sci-fi bunker textures, so I'm finishing up the "Asylum" medieval/fantasy building I mentioned a while ago. This is a good opportunity for a nice tallish multi-layered building with some of the features of the Tax Collector's Office.
With any luck, I'll finish this one Wednesday afternoon and get back to work on the bunker in the evening. I'm procrastinating, but at least I'm getting work done on one model while delaying another!

 THE ASYLUM - Coming Soon![/b] I'm on the last step, preparing the PDF files in InDesign and creating the advert graphics. So this model kit will be completed tonight and probably available this weekend. This is a multi-layered model with a footprint of approximately 2.5" x 4.5", although it includes optional stairs that will modify the footprint somewhat. The model's height is approximately 9", not including the chimney. In all, this model requires 5 sheets of cardstock (or 6 sheets if you want to print the page of reinforcing struts). Here's what you get: -Base textures give you a choice of stonework or plaster-and beams, and you add black bricks along the ground or a wooden attic. You'll find that you can create lots of different looks by selecting or hiding the heavy beams. -2 choices of roof tiles. -A 6" x 6" ground tile with a choice of 2 styles of paving stones. -An outhouse. -Several chests and wooden crates. -Chimney with a choice of 2 mounting locations. -1 or 2 large optional balconies, each with enough room for 4 minis. -1 or 2 optional exterior dormer windows. -2 optional roof dormers. -A hanging sign featuring a 'barred gate' design to let you know that you won't be going home once you pass through these doors. -A selection of optional doors and windows, including shutters you can apply yourself (so they'll swing open and closed). There's a short flight of stairs (with a choice of 2 textures) to enter the building, as well as an optional door on the ground level. -An optional sheet of reinforcing struts that you can place inside the structure for additional support. |

And this one's all wrapped up! Look for this model to appear in the store in just a couple of days. I'm going to celebrate by taking a nap, and then it's back to the sci-fi bunker with some fresh ideas.

Looks really great! Stonework plus wooden attic FTW, it has that feeling of "old fortified tower converted to another use" that's full of character by itself.  |

Ok, I'm gonna need you to tone down the awesome a bit. I cannot keep up with the builds... and Christmas is coming for gawds sakes. I'd like to get my Children something other than an IOU for tax time as dad toils away in his basement workroom making paper towns. ;D  ~F

Hmmm, if you keep up with the maritime theme for the bundles then this might be a good choice for a Pest House - a house where sick sailors were housed to either get better or die, cloistered away from the general population. Often enough the sailors would end up catching new diseases rather than recovering from the ones that they already had. (Portland, Maine used to have one over on India Street, back in the 1700s.)
