First we need to use the height of one 1x2 tile. This is very handy, as instead of using 2 plates we can add a headlight brick on its back which will be used to attach the horizontal tiles as seen in the picture below. Also note that the height of the 2 tiles is equal to 6 bricks and 2 plates. I have used white instead of tan here, as I think it works well with dark brown and makes a nice change from all the tan house around. Of course, if you don't need an interior and just want a village that looks good then it doesn't matter anyway. This isn't a problem with this section as you can build a floor anyway, but can be tricky in other areas. As you can see in the picture below, at some stages we will have to have the plates sticking inside. The Troll Battle Wheel set was a great source for these. The easiest and most widely availible is the 2圆 plate. As there is a limited amount of plates in this colour we have to make the best of what there is. Here you can see some of the problems encounted with dark brown. Now i am going to switch to dark brown, as that is the colour I will be mostly using, although you can use reddish brown if it is more availible to you. This will allow us to clip on a height of 2 1x4 tiles to get the corner effect like so. You should end up with 2 bricks pointing one way and two pointing the other. Between each brick we place 2 1x1 plates. We do the corner of the wordwork with 4 black 1x1 bricks with stud(not the headlight piece). It looks more prominent then a single and looks more like the tile width, which we will build the rest with. Notice that I use a double layer of brown plate as the base for the timber section. Both can be used to great effect which we will cover later. This is done with headlight bricks and 1x1 bricks with stud.Īlso, we can add some plants if need be, the basic ones are the 3 leafed 1x1 round part and the classic tree/leaf part. Once we have this, we can add the planking on top which holds the two walls together making them very strong and sturdy.īut, a plane wall of 1x1 rounds can be a bit much, so we have to add in some tile brick work to break things up a bit. This also comes in handy when making an interior as you have another wall on the inside to add detail with out certain clips and bricks being visible from the outside. So we have to build a second wall with plain bricks behind the rounds like so. Tan also works well added in.Īs you can see, there are lots of small gaps and its not very stable. You can also add some sand green if you have them as it gives a nice 'moss' effect. Note that the primary colour is light grey then dark grey followed by odd spots of brown then black. Here we can see a basic wall of 1x1 round plates. So here is a little idea of how we will be tackling houses during the guide. The more advanced additions and techniques will be covered as I build them through out the guide. To start off, i am going to briefly cover my technique for building houses in its simplest form. No comments here please, if you have any questions and comments please post them in the other existing thread. This thread will be for just the guide only.
