Thanks so much.
Oh yeah, don't take me as ungrateful. Just the only way I can help short of learning to do models, and my last foray into that was... uh. Best not discussed.

Okay, another concept for slum type houses. Again, not a finished model...needs a window upfront I think....mostly, trying to get the effect of deteriorating stucco with brick beneath, and wooden huts built beside the rock structure.

I was actually wondering if there was a way to get a stucco effect when you posted the last stone building. If you could get a few flecks of white in the stucco it might be a nice effect too to represent the usual whitewashing.

I like the concept. It reminds me a little of the NWN1 buildings, which I thought did a nice job of creating this effect.

This last iteration is much better and is definitely an improvement. The roof texture will need some tweaking, as you are probably aware. Also, I agree with Darren's suggestion, if it's possible to do.

I also think a window or two would definitely work for the model, too.

Great improvement and keep at it. :)

Finally got to sit down and work on these models a bit more. Changed the texture for the stucco, worked over the roof and the sidebuildings a bit..still not done, just want some comments/suggestions.

The stucco looks fabulous! I like the direction you're going with the roof as well.

My only suggestion is that if you place windows I would try to keep them on the small side.

I think you nailed the stucco too.

FYI. RB informed me that these fabulous models are ready for use.

So, a question to TSM, BG, and Moonsea builders:

Would any of you like to have these models in our HAKs? We can integrate them now if they'll be used or hold off until they are needed. I certainly intend to use them in WD, but that's not on the horizon yet. Please let me know.

Thanks.

I have one more model to complete, and perhaps make a few versions of.

I'd love to see them in the haks, but I'm not going to pull off any large scale urban renewal programs for awhile so at your convenience would be fine with me.
