The City Of Ankh-Morpork W.I.P.

Simon B

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

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.

thomthom

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.

G'day Tom

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.

thomthom

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.

Gaieus

It's Czech as far as I can see...

sepo

I think it is a bit of everything.

angusog

the model posted to 3dwh has an English version of the map above the town,

I a few of the books and maps. I just started of with the Assassin's Guild.

thomthom

Got a WIP of the Assassin's Guild going in a separate thread: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=18393
Made a new thread as I plan to go into further detail to it, which I feel would just clutter up this thread. But if any Discworld reader would have a look it'd be nice. I'm wondering if there's some references in the books which gives any clue to the appearance of the AG building.

angusog

Thom, awesome model of the assassins guild building. In the other thread.

there is a reference to the AG , but it was an interior scene, can't remember what book it was atm, will have a look through them to see if i can find it ( I did start referencing descriptions as i was reading them again), but haven't got back to that one yet, anyway description of the scene "

It is about the patrician when he was a pupil in the guild. he was reading a book on camouflage, and school bully takes it from him and throws it in the fire. it was the only one of it's kind, implying no one else could use it now, later in the chapter he ambushes the bully using techniques from the book"
about as much as i remember for now, I am pretty sure there is a description at the beginning of the chapter on the front of the AG building and entrance. will post again when i find or remember the title

The Truth:

Tower of Art is 900' high
Creek Alley off Gleam St has Huge Windowed Warehouses and
Hobson's Livery Stable (Multi-Storey)
Harry Kings Yard Formally "Taking the Piss since 1961" sign
now reads "Re-cycling natures bounty"
SOUL MUSIC

Jetty at Misbegot Bridge, Bridge Lined both sides with quite high
Houses, cramped roadway

Mended Drum, back door looks over the river ankh

Hide Park , Grass and trees

Cunning Artificers; Street of tiny shops, furnaces glowing in every doorway,
clock makers, Armourers, carpenters, carvers, tool makers

hope this helps , not much but some to be going on with
