Added 2023-12-03 03:44:41 +0000 UTCEDIT: added images of painted timber frames. Be sure to check download area for updated downloads if you have not done so. These has been several adjustments for better visuals.
Went ahead and released the timber frame row houses today through myminifactory.com. If you didn’t get your redemption please make sure your payment options are updated. I am still in the middle of physical testing, if there is anything, I should find it within the next week. I was a little lighter with the mesh scrubbing, for now I am avoiding doing any excessive pocket geometry fixes and see if that helps. Slice times for these tend to be long as these houses are very playable and large. Next month I’ll do some expansions for these row houses and our walls. I’m also going into some ruin variations, including doing some kind of remake of our lost road series. Maybe above and below ground versions with some more stuff in the future. I’ve had a couple requests for this from commercial sellers and also from Lord Gosumba for GaryCon this year, which is just in a few months. BTW I’ll be attending this year if anyone is making it up there, I plan on doing a seminar as well and will post info when I have it in terms of day and time. More images will be added as the month goes on, I’ll aim for a painting video this month but have included an outline on the PDF as well. Below is the official write up.
This month marks the launch of our latest collection: fully modular timber frame row houses. These meticulously designed structures are tailored for swift painting, complete with detailed guidelines included in a downloadable PDF. We've focused on simplicity by avoiding third stories, kick outs, and Victorian gothic elements. Building upon the success of our stand-alone timber beta in September, we've optimized timber shapes and spacing for efficient paint blocking while retaining intricate details.
The set comprises four builds, featuring one corner unit and three row houses. Each house offers three bases, two second floors, and three roofs. With the ability to create a total of 12 unique structures and additional subtle variations through mirroring, this collection promises versatility for hobbyists and enthusiasts.
- Fully modular: This allows for a lot of flexibility and customization, which is perfect for speed painters who like to experiment.
- Timber frame construction: This gives the houses a unique and rustic look, while also being relatively lightweight and easy to work with.
- Designed for speed painting: This includes features like pre-painted guild lines and instructions for a 1 ½ coat speed paint, which will save painters time and frustration.
- 4 builds with variations: This provides a good variety of options, while still keeping things manageable for a single release.
- Huge: Relatively huge for timber frame family dwellings with 150-160mm of play space along all Y axis. 75-160mm on the X, depending on the variation.
