The City Of Ankh-Morpork W.I.P.
-
G'day Gaieus
first off thank you for your suggestions,
the screen shot is a freebie version of Gadwin Screen print.nothing to do with SU at all
I think they shared collection is the way to go , assembly as required by each individual with the parts they want, tho atm only the main model is up there, i should break it down into individual parts and start a collection.
maybe this weekend, I 'll give that a go
and I was thinking the same thing about moving this to where you suggested, please go ahead and do so

OK, I will/would - just I'd also like to hear Jacob's consent; after all he started this topic and I don't want to hijack it or do anything without his word heard.

Gai
yup your right of course, my apologizes to Jacob for neatly hijacking his thread, unintentionally

I see he is also a "collaborator" now.

looks like a cool project! keep it up!

some notes from
"Soul Music" http://www.booklore.co.uk/PastReviews/PratchettTerry/SoulMusic/SoulMusicReview.htm
Misbegot Bridge ( second bridge from the south on Jacobs map) Jetty under the bridge, Lined on both sides with house's making the street rather cramped, bridge is quite high...
Mended Drum (Pub) back door looks right onto the river ankh
Hide Park consists of trees and grass
Street of Cunning Artificers: Street of tiny shops, furnaces glowed in every doorway, Clockmaker's, Armorers, carpenters, 1/3 of the shops made tools for the other shops.
hope this helps with ideas on constructing the city.....

And some inspiring images;

My wife will be delighted to see this work. She loves the books.
I'd say the house is great, maybe too well lit and regular? I'd expect medieval lighting to be uneven warm glows (plus a few greenish glares from the more questionable practitioners' stores).
I appreciate the fun you're having with this, having been a Tolkien and Narnia fan myself. But I read one Discworld book and did not get it.
Gook luck

Excellent project - for references for some of the buildings you might want to look at some of the Clarecraft figurines of the buildings.
Hmm, I may have a go at modelling them....
-
Thanks for that Pete, had forgot all about clarecraft,
Pb what book was it you read of the discworld series, terry's humour is a little bit off beat i suppose but I love it, "rincewind" the wizard is bloody brilliant, a survivor if ever there was one. Nanny Ogg, Mistress weatherwax and Magrat the witches are excellent too, as are the nac mac feegle, who think if it is bigger than them , fight it and at 6" tall everything is bigger than them...

I bet that Solo could model some awesome Feegles.....

I read Soul Music. It was fun and diverting.
-
Cool
I just finished it again for about the 5th time "music with rocks in"
Death is awesome in it , joining the Klatchian foreign legion to forget was a hilarious part of the book
and finished "Eric" this week, small but funny 12yr old demonologist and Rincewind go well together....
I have a picture of "Rob Anybody", Big Man of the feegle somewhere need to post it. and I think you are right Solo could do it real justice.
-
Gai, Shift it on over to the other forum!
I'm sorry I haven't been modelling much, I've been very busy, Hopefully I will get some done tommorow.

Here is another great resource for inspiration:
Just Google Images with "York Shambles" - not a plumb line in sight!
-
some more updates
The local pub, although modeled with square sides, would love to model it all wonky like a 400yr old building would be like , but i reckon file size would treble
haven't worked on the city this week at all
reckon this could take a while to get modeled
-
This is great! I love Terry Pratchet's stuff. I've played with the idea myself of doing some modelling related to Discworld.
