See inside the build process for my second most popular CCC entry from last year!
Like all the previous builds in this series on Apple Cider, I used a black tile border.
Though I originally intended to have a series of vaults as the build’s primary feature.
Here was my attempt at using the large macaroni tiles as the arches of the vaults. But I didn’t find any good ways of fitting the rest of the vaults around them.
So went back to standard arches with convex slopes. This was just too bulky though, and would have made photography tricky.
So I settled on a much simpler setup with arches and macaroni tiles over some round columns. Here it’s also easy to see how the floor pattern is made.
I purposefully made the space underneath the arches quite deep to easily accommodate the barrels which were attached to the wall behind them.
After adding some bottle racks, two torches, and a few figs, the scene was complete. Surprisingly this was one of my more popular models in 2018, despite its small size.
And there’s your look behind the scenes at making this build! Keep checking back for more tutorials, build logs, and new creations.
