Finally found two back-to-back hours to work in my office... I've got the template done and it builds pretty easy, so the texturing is underway. It'll complement the other stone buildings. I've been away from this stuff for so long!

Got all the bits textured and turned into PDFs, so technically instructions and promo pics are next... but then I'm thinking it wouldn't be too much more work to pull the buildings apart and allow for JUST the little tower or JUST the smaller building (though it's not NO work)... I don't think I can justify NOT doing it though!

I turned this into three models - the combined house/tower, and the house and tower separately. Instructions and promo pics take the longest, especially because I've fallen out of practice...

Hoo-wee. I think I wrapped up the instructions, and fixed up the last of the PDFs. Tomorrow, I'll start printing and assembling the final work just to double-check everything, and I'll get the promo pics done!

Built the stand-alone house (sans tower) this evening. Found an error in one PDF and an error in one cutfile, and it turns out I left a page out of the instructions! I think this model is simple enough to be faster to cut by hand than by machine, but I have to test the cutfiles... So, tomorrow night I hope to have the time to assemble the stand-alone tower, and the combined building.

I actually appreciate that you test your models before releasing them. Thank you

As separate buildings... Now to fuse them together. Sadly, rather than forming a giant robot, they just form a slightly larger building. :-P

I'm having terrible internet woes lately... Hopefully everything uploaded fine! Oh, you must be on Comcast, too

Continuing to have internet issues, so I have to post quickly! I was asked for some floor plans for my buildings, so I'm starting to tinker with the idea of something simple to offer.

One quick improvement would be to have the floorboards of the two buildings not look like they are direct continuations of each other. (JUst my two'penn'eth worth!!)

More tinkering... Stone frame for the stone buildings, with window and door placement allowed to match the 3d walls. I might leave it at that and get the other buildings done. I'll see about updating all of the buildings I've released so far with floor plans.
I was thinking I'd let you print out the second floor like this, but now that I think about it, I'll probably make the second floor have the roof covering the first floor, and I'll do a 3rd level roof for the tower part. That way, if you'd prefer the maps over the 3d building, or if you want to use them both together, you've got pieces parts to do it.

Hey @mprotaeu!
I just bought the Tower House hoping to get your floor texture to use in another model I'm making of yours - tricked out, perhaps for the contest this year.
Any ETA?

Pin me down with an ETA, eh? You're sounding like my boss at work now! I am hoping to update the product download with PDFs for floorplans and cutfiles by the weekend.

Product has been updated to include the simple floor plans for the three buildings!
