Hi guys, I have completed texturing the long wall side extensions and thought I better share my next test build options so you can feel the same excitement as I do! I hope now you really see what different kind of builds you can achieve with this set.
Speaking of set, actually it will be two sets. I have decided to pack...

Quick look at the combinations before the weekend! With the modules I made so far I can create these very long long halls extending along the long axis. Looking forward to make the extensions for the other direction and a part II :)
One thing I noticed is that I need to mix up the shield variations so they are no repeti...

Last of the "straight" extensions done. Now I need to texture all the missing roof dormer extensions. Hope to get this done today, so I can start working on weathering and finetuning details (like adding more shield colors) on the weekend!
I am getting quite a few requests on a fast release. People are very eager to bui...

Taking a quick break to show you my progress of the last days. Here you can see the two modules you can stack onto the roof of the long hall core building. Either choose one of them or stack the together! :)
I realized if you wanted you could even kit-bash the NVB2 house to stack it onto the long hall. So that's somethi...

Hi guys, time for a little update. As you can see I have worked through the large extension - adding a large double wing door option for those. Currently I am fine tuning the "top house" extension you can place on the core house roof. That should be finished soon, so expect some pics of that soon :)
I have also started ...

I got the main work done for the next bit, the "totem pole" for the Norse setting.
Here are a couple of options that will be available (not sure yet what will be free and what will be Patreon advanced options). Basically this is a two part tower thing that you can also build as just the bottom or top half for more varia...

While I am texturing the next house and recording the next build video I have started the main bit for this month ... a totem pole in Nordic style!
Here's a first look at a prototype I have built. I think I can squeeze in a couple of options. Different heights, different tops and different texturing. This should make fo...

Welcome guys and girls to 2021! I am back to work and I can show you where I am with the various roof extension options I have been working on for the main long house.
There will be two sizes. In the first pic you see the large one in the middle with a wall extension and the small "closed" ones on the sides. I call the ...

I have been laying low the past few days ... but not so low that I couldn't help myself to work on the groundwork for the next Norse building!
It's all in the glorious mess stage right now but I have been getting a lot done for all the "dormer roof" or roof extensions I have planned. There will be two sizes and then wha...

I have finished texturing the other wayside shrines. Just need to make some minor corrections - like the position of the icons on the last one is too low.
I have added a couple of options (brick or stone foundation, red and green roof tiles) for variety as usual and will now start to get them ready for release!

Before I continue with the next step, the ratlines, I decided to make an introduction video explaining all the layers you can choose from, so people get an idea just how much you can customize this baby :)
Enjoy!

I finished the first texturing. This really looks like something I could come across when hiking in the countryside here :)
I'll probably make an "empty" area on the back, for an option where the back would be the front and you could draw (or glue) on some RPG deity symbol as an option for gaming.
I was looking fo...

First of all thank you for your support! The NVB2 set is well received so far and I am glad you guys are seeming to enjoying it as much as I had fun designing it.
For December I had planned to release a small church or chapel for the generic fantasy village setting but with the Brig Build videos taking more time than ex...

When looking at the house version where the door is on the long side I have found the roof could use a little extra detail, so I made this option. This will give a nice alternate look for more variety in a settlement of these buildings.
I am working on the last steps and started setting the DELUXE edition up on my Gumro...

Again a quick WIP on the next set :)
In addition to the two know roof options I have added two more and also one for the longitudinal one! Also have created some ground base tiles (grid in the pics is optional).

I am working full steam on the instructions and one thing that I needed to do was work out a "fold-flat" approach for the porch entrance version of the NVB2 house.
With the thin column elements there was just no space to implement insertion tabs properly. One could just glue the front and sides together and make t...

Started talking about building the masts. The content become so long that I have to split it into two parts for the main masts. There will be yet another one later for the bowsprit mast with the deck structures, but with these everyone should understand the basic structure, ideas and methods of building my masts!

Here's a quick update to the upcoming rune stones for the Norse settlements. I am almost done with them but you will have to wait a day or two for the actual release.

The roof parts and texturing is coming along nicely. I got the wood shingles, grass and thatched versions added and made the visible undersides. I also added a full underside texture for the Deluxe edition as a bonus if you want to create a roof that has no white when opened!
Next I need to do the decoration elements. I...

I have managed to wrap up this video. I have planned to include the main masts and stairs too but it became so long without that I decided to split these topics into new videos. So for now is just adding the deck, closing the core shape and getting the ship into a shape where it gets usable!

Time for a little update! Here are a couple of pics showing my progress on the optional interior of the next house.
The floor has a couple of options that you can choose from. If I have time I might also make some bed bunk side benches as a 3D bit.
