Fishing in muddy waters - a photo on Flickriver

There are a couple of building tricks here. If you are interested in something don't hesitate to ask.

You might notice that the texturing style is not as detailled as in my last half timbered buildings. I would assume that I used half the number of parts per cm³. I didn't try to use the smallest parts possible this time. So I could take advantage of larger parts like arches. I used tons of arches here. The whole tower is made of them as well as the left bay.

Though the build is still quite technical (it's still me) my focus was more on forms this time. I used round forms whereever possible: the roof, the wooden staircase, the tower, the left bay, the bridge.

ForlornEmpire inspired me to do that roof. He made a hilarious roof in summer using doors. I didn't have those doors but I thought, I could use those traffic signs instead. Looks different but it works.

Check my Instagram account for techniques tutorials.
I also uploaded a few pics on my second account.
