Tudor Hall Finished
« on: August 29, 2011, 10:16:56 »
Hey friends, well it's all done for now here's the photos of this finished version.

It was a bit hard to take pics of the main hall it's something that really needs to be seen in person. It's three stories high with open beams and a minstrels gallery. The second floor has the smaller open frames to support these beams in the roof.I did um and arh about doing this and I hope you'll get an impression of what I've tried to create.

The small room under the stairs is a secret priests hole that was often needed during the reformation in King Henry's time. It's not hinged as I couldn't find a suitable PM hinge to use in my bit's box.

The hallway above is the long gallery where the ladies would exercise in winter with a small sitting room above the main door with a small fireplace and ghost (hard to photograph)

I've tried to fit most of the common features of a Tudor house into this, anything else I'll just have to add next time if I build another one.

Oh I've also got a question about flooring. I've fitted the entire house on the station floors, so when the house is moved the furniture moves with it.  What do you think? I like to have bases on my buildings but I know many medieval collectors don't, they'd rather have the open base. What do you think?

Absolutely amazing, Emma.  So many details that keep your eyes darting back and forth.  I love the design and the way you have furnished it.  Just lovely!!!!

Emma, once again another magnificent creation, I love all of the details in the accessories in the rooms, and I love the secret nook under the stairs.  I need to dash off to work early, but I can hardly wait to spend more time looking at each photo when I get back.  Just looking at them, you can hear the sounds of activity in the household.

WOW!

Absolutely incredible! :(o): :(o): :(o): :wow: :wow: :wow:

I just love every part of it :love: :love: :love:

The furnishings are top class, and I love your custom structural parts :)9

The Priest's hole is brilliant. We visited a castle once, and the priest had his own miniture staircase behind a wall which led to a basement 'hole' 8-)

btw, I think the station flooring is great ;)
