Here is my latest creation, the Butcher's Shop:

Inside: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jbrin ... op/bs3.jpg
The butcher has all kind of meats including beef, lamb, pork, poultry, and fish.
I like the 4 part turkey the best:

The shop treats the half-timber style differently than most previous shops. This
technique makes adding windows more difficult. Here is a pic of how windows are
done: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jbrin ... window.jpg
Enjoy!

Don't want to be too negative, but I think I've got my fill of tudor style houses-even though I keep making them myself. Was there some sort of explanation about rain falling on the walls of these houses making them a certain color or something? I've never really given it thought, but it seems that their colors are a tad unrealisic, no?
Mr D.,
I wanted to try something new and found these pictures on the internet after searching for medieval half timber: http://www.peartree12.freeserve.co.uk/t ... uses1.html
My wife said the shop looked like a zebra. Oh well....

Which colors? The wood will naturally darken to a grey or black color. The daub - mud plaster that is interwoven could be white when new. Although earthy colors like tan also work. Some had a yellow tint - like Stokesay Castle. Of course if the infill between timbers is brick it would be red. So there are a variety of colors that can be used based on materials or pigments in the plaster.Was there some sort of explanation about rain falling on the walls of these houses making them a certain color or something?

I do like that James has used more vertical timbers in this building - a technique used in French Colonial buildings. Although then the infill was stone chips.

Great job. It's an interesting take on the tudor style. I love the chicken. Good luck in the contest!
