I was able to chip away across my summer break back home and finished the basic construction of all of the houses I intend to model for my representation of Senneffe. I constructed five basic building types. The first image highlights a one-off structure and the following two reference sketches show the uneven roof line I was aiming for.
Immediately above are two of the smallest town cottages of which I made two long and two short versions. Note the stepped pitch of the roof-line.
The above image was one reference serving to guide the construction of my three grand houses and a slightly lesser but substantial residence as follows.
All references were period Dutch (United Provinces) town and rural sketches/paintings. The last two buildings are from a slightly older Brugel work.
There's a bit of finishing yet to be done prior to their paint job but that's going to have to wait till I get back to Canberra and back to this project.
I made a good start on the church but again, I'm afraid it will be quite some time until I derive the finished product. In the meantime the last shot will give you an idea what it will look like. It's not laid out in any particular pattern.
They look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray. One day they may even be finished
