I found it to be very interesting from a modelling perspective and snapped a whole bunch of pictures of the architecture and building materials. While they might be 17th Century/ECW period, they clearly have applicability for a wide range of genres. Here are some of them:
Here are the pics from the Indian village:
Very nice. I´d like to have a go at scratchbuilding a couple of those. I like the Details like smoke hole at the top of the gable end - pic 3 from top and wooden clad chimneys..all Wood or a brick/Stone lining? Best pics of the native american houses I´ve seen.
ReplyDeleteEvery house was different and clearly reflected the skills and preferences of each individual. The houses had a clay hearth (no bricks in the early colonies) and inner core of the chimney up to around head height. I think I have some internal pics as well so I'll do another post with those for you Paul.
DeleteAside from the Indian Village it reminds me of a village we drove through in the Ukraine a few years back. Humans are a resourceful bunch with the use of local materials to provide us with shelter, makes a nice change from a cave or lean to.
