Tudor Manor - A work in progress

[Emma.J]

  glad every one is enjoying this as I waffle on 

A quick round up

Front of house, kitchen to right with it's own door, main hall to left with bedroom above.



Left side of house showing kitchen with the understair storage space. Yes the door is gone in this picture as I needed a solid wall to put oven or cupboards against.



Rear of house

  Hi Folks!

The Roof

As you may have seen in my other post I've had a bit of trouble making the roof for this house. As this started as an upside down "U" shape my original plan was to have a long roof section going from left to right across the house with the two bottom "legs" of the H/U shape connecting to it. This meant cutting 2 pairs roof sections at an angle. By putting arms on the H I now thought I'd have to cut up 4 sets.

If you can imagine this building but all the same level you'll understand what I mean.



It wasn't until actually sawing up the roof that I realised if I had the roof running all the way from front to back with a short crossbar section of roof I'd be back to only using 4 sections alltogether  sometimes I'm slow.



Above is what I managed below is what I would have liked it to look like. (Drat I can't find the photo but it has a very nice join down the corner. I'll uploaded it soon as I find it.)

The Complete Roof

Front View



Side View



This picture above also shows the layout of the left hand side with the banquet hall at the bottom and the bedroom above with a sitting room to one side.

Right Side



Here I was dithering again over the best place to put the stairs  So they would fit better I extended the right side so it's now 3 full sections in length.

Like WK said. Great design work and it's really helpful to hear your thinking so we can avoid the same problems :-)

Thank you Wolf knight, but I'm sorry to say this is not the final build yet! So if you thought it was ready to furnish you'll just have to hang on for the bigger version!

Thanks Gis, I'm glad people are sticking with my very long project and getting some hints from it all. I just hope everyone will follow it through till it's finished 

I'll add some more pictures later today soon as I've had chance to sort some more out

Emma, that is just beautiful!  Who needs a Victorian dollhouse?!?  Seriously, this design is fantastic - I can't wait to see the finished and furnished house! 




   
P.S.  Sometimes I feel like I am using too many exclamation points!!!  But sometimes you just have to!!!!!

Well at the moment the right side is 4 full wall lengths front to back and the left side 3 sections long but I'm toying with the idea of adding another small wing to the kitchen
