A steck castle project on hold....

[Wolf Knight]

Well, its been sometime but I finally managed to build an inn for my city!

I shall call it the Tabard Inn, after Gordon's suggestion of the inn in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales!!!
I also thank Elaine for finding and showing me some pictures from the internet on how the actual inn looked like!

I have to say that I was planning for a L shaped building, with an extended balcony but lack of parts and craftsmanship (did not really want to get involved in cutting and gluing like Emma did so brilliantly in her Tudor manor) led me to the following design (see attachment) I still like the way it came out to be!

The ground floor will be the bar and serving/eating area (perhaps a small office of the owner too). There are stairs leading up to the resting areas and rooms, as well as the attic.

Maybe later, I'll make a small stable to place near the inn.

And of course a few pics of the work in progress... As I wrote earlier, I wanted this to be an L shaped building...but guess what...this would happen if there was a four way connector...hope we get that soon, so send the letter everyone!!!

So, in the attachments we have groundfloor, (you will actually notice that in the final image of the structure, i've replaced the side groundfloor house walls with stone walls!) first floor, and the addition of flooring and balcony rails...

[Wolf Knight]

I was not sure what roof to use so i tried both the corner roofs and the straight triangular sides...

I believe the first choise, and the one that was used, is better than the triangles...


Once I decide which tabard to hang as a signpost outside the door, I'll post a fianl image at ''building in my castle project'' thread!!!

Hope you enjoy it!!! Thanks for the ideas and support everyone!!!

You have created a beautiful inn, Panos !!!

Are you planning to put furniture inside the rooms?

I really like it a lot. Thanks for the visual building instructions.

All the best,
Richard

Hi Richard!!!

I will be placing funitures and klickies to the inn, and the rest of the buildings in the castle/medieval town project, eventually when it is all over! I am not sure it will be any time soon as there is more planning to be bone, more time and space to be devoted!

But eventually i'll get there!!!

So glad you liked it!!! Thanks for your positive comments!!

That's a superbly designed inn, Panos.     As regards the tabard, you could always make your own using a klicky body and putting on decals or stickers front and back.  The smaller lion's head one from here might be suitable:

Thank you Gordon!! Like your suggestion!!!
I am already planning to use one of the old long hanging sign posts from the various medieval houses and place the klicky body through it!!!
