This was a very enjoyable build that came together quickly and ended up being one of my favorite CCC entries from last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started with the idea for unique cobblestone streets using the technique we made a tutorial on recently<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I wanted one section of street set at a slope, which ended up being much easier than I expected. I used a couple clips and plate with handle to establish the slope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then filled in with basic bricks underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The street takes a hair pin turn giving a flat area where I could fit the main vendor’s cart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the left corner I planned to have a building, plus a row of houses at the back of the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I started with those, and used these 1×1 columns as wood posts on the first house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This half timber design is one we’ve covered before<\/a>, and I was very happy with how it fit here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I made sure to shift the second building back a stud from the first to keep the street front from looking too uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And I’m rather pleased with the window design it used: a four stud wide window frame with the outside stud on either end covered by SNOT tiles. Which makes it look to be just a two stud wide window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The dark tan door shown above didn’t give the look I wanted so I tried MDF next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Which still wasn’t right. Eventually I settled on a dark brown door and switched out the palisade bricks for backwards masonry bricks in the tudor portions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It worked well having the buildings staggered when it came time to build the roof lines as the larger house’s roof could overhang in front of the second building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When developing the third house I used the same basic tudor technique as the first, but with regular bricks instead of the rounded columns for posts. Likewise I switched up the transition between the first and second stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sand blue tiles were something we had gotten in LUGbulk, and I really wanted to incorporate them somewhere, but dark blue fit better for the window shutters. A dormer window and roof facing the opposite direction from the first two finished off the back street facades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So it was time to move onto the fourth and final building! I had more space for this one, meaning lots more options to experiment with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Plate and tile stonework gives a lovely texture, but is something I previously haven’t had enough pieces to use very much. After a couple years of LUGbulk, and with a fairly small building here, I knew I could easily manage to use the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Olive green was my first try for the mottling, but dark tan fit the scene way better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to experiment with dark brown framing for this building, but it was too limiting and looked a bit out of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So I went back to the tried and true design of two previous houses – with one more variation on wooden supports for the overhanging second story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Things progressed quickly from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But when I finished the house John suggested changing the tudor color to dark orange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A very good idea as it turned out! It kept all the house tones very similar, and also made a fun color gradient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I tried two different versions of cobblestone tiling. One with rounded parts included, and one with only standard plates and tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The standard plates and tiles won out, at which point the scene was practically done. All that remained was the low wall between streets and a few patches of grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoyed that look into this model’s design process, and stay tuned for more build logs and tutorials!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
