          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 read Soul Music. It was fun and diverting.

                    Cool

                    I just finished it again for about the 5th time "music with rocks in" πŸ˜†

                    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.

                          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 πŸ˜„


                            The Mended Drum, most famous pub on the discworld


                            and the skippy

                              This is great! I love Terry Pratchet's stuff. I've played with the idea myself of doing some modelling related to Discworld.

                                That'd be great. I have a few of the mapps and illustrated books for accurate references. Hook me up and I'll join you.

                                  it would be fantastic if you could join in the building of ankh morpork, i'm doing the post office atm, the mint, tower of art, any model in fact the would suit a medieval township would be welcome, if you want to be included in the 3dwh collaboration let me know , you would be most welcome.

                                  I have edited the model and reduced the file size a lot by deleting the lettering on the front.

                                      This looks like fantastic project...BTW language is none from Balkan. It is Slavic for sure though.

                                        I have the English version of the Mappe.
                                        I'll see if I can get it scanned in pieces and stitch together or take a photo of it.
