Your "take" is exquisite. Very sharp detail. I am always amazed when I see work with such perfect measurement. Of course, when you are able to make those kind of detailed cuts, the work speaks for itself. Congrats

Glad you like 'em. I've got a couple more ideas to try out, and a few set pieces for an encounter I have planned - but I'm afraid those will have to wait ...as I've run out of glue stick

I like how you use the printouts as a skin. Been doing similar for a couple of years, on cardboard tubes, to make round towers; also doing it on an oatmeal box, to make a very large city gate, with portcullis, and arrow loops. Never thought about doing it on toilet paper tubes, for columns... Will have to try that one. May try to use MK figure round bases to strengthen the tubes against crushing -- I've got a couple hundred lying around. Great. Another new project... Cheers!

I'm at it again... ...so here's a new (darker) wood texture - though you could use the last one I posted too: drive.google.com/open?id=0B5ZeG3bjxtRQVlQ1eXNLZE1PY3cAnd I've used it to make the tables, stools, and cots in this image (though it also doubles as a darker wooden floor texture - for added variety):
HOW TO MAKE THE TABLES
STEP 1Glue a section of the main texture to a piece of thin card, and draw out a few circular shapes to represent the table top and stool tops (in this example I've drawn around a coin that is roughly 1" in diameter, and a small washer that is roughly ½" in diameter). Next glue a section of the plain wood texture around a drinking straw (a 1" length should be more than enough). STEP 2Cut out the table and stool tops (note that I've also cut little 'v' shapes along the edges where the planks meet - for a more rustic look), and cut the straw into a ½" length for the table 'leg' and a ¼" length for each of the stools. STEP 3Glue a 2x2 section of whatever floor pattern you are using to a piece of thin card and cut it to size (note that I've actually used some of the slightly smaller 2x2 sections that I've provided in some of the other furniture downloads). Next, hot-glue the table leg to the centre of the tile, and the stool legs nearer to the edges. STEP 4Finally, simply hot-glue the table and stool tops to their legs. HOW TO MAKE THE COTS
STEP 1Glue a piece of the plain wood texture to a piece of thin card, and cut out two lengths roughly 1½" long by slightly less than ¼" inch wide, and 4 pieces approximately 1" x ¼" (note that you can also cut these last pieces from the gridded wood texture if you have lots of that left over). You'll also need to cut four ¼" lengths of textured drinking straw (made in the same way as described above), and a roughly 1" x 2" piece of the sackcloth texture from the previous Barrels & Sacks download (note that I've distressed the edges of this last piece by making little 'v' shaped cuts with a pair of scissors). STEP 2Hot glue the 2 pieces of the drinking straw to the underside of the 1½" planks, and then glue them down to a suitable floor tile (note that I've also made a stool to go beside the side of this one - so ignore that). And while the glue is setting, crumple and unfold the 'sackcloth' texture a couple of times to make it nice and creased, and then scrunch it up to look somewhat like it does in the picture. STEP 3Glue the smaller planks across the two larger beams (note that you don't have to be too neat and tidy with these). STEP 4Then, for the final step, hot-glue the crumpled paper on top of the bed to make it look like worn/tattered sheets. And that, as they say, is that!

This makes me want to make an inn as well. Good job!

Great looking tables, stools and cots! Wonderful method for making them and a great tutorial about how you went about making them! Great job!

As always, thanks for all the comments! Anyway, I'm pretty sure the new wooden textures could be used to make all sorts of things ...and as a quick example, here's a few pieces I've put together with some of the offcuts and leftover pieces from the balconies I built: Unfortunately, I don't have any WIP pics of these ...but you should be able to work out how I put them together. And if anyone else comes up with other uses for the textures - I'd love to see what you create

Just wondering... ...would folks be interested in me doing something similar for sci-fi/industrial tiles? ...and maybe even start making a couple of videos to go along with them?

Love how simple and clean everything looks, but its missing the dirt and grungy feel of a painting or stamping. I'll have to try some of these setups in the future. Thanks for the uploading!

It's been a while since I mentioned the sci-fi tiles ...but since I'm about to start playing in a sci-fi game, my interest has been rekindled So here's a quick look at the door graphics I've been working on... However, this time I'm thinking of putting the finished pdf files on RPGNow as pay-what-you-want products (rather than just having them available from my blog) - so folks can still grab them for free ...but they can also throw a couple of coppers in the hat if they feel so inclined. Or, at least, that's the plan (so admins ...since I might technically be getting a tiny bit of money for my sci-fi tiles - would it still be OK to post my images here ...as it might be considered 'advertising' ?). Anyway, I hope you guys like 'em (I just need to get a few more things done, and I can start putting some pieces together ).

Those look great, I'm not an admin, but it seems if you are just keeping it to your board, it wouldn't be a problem Would love to see your tiles included with the doors

OK then ...I've taken the plunge and filmed my first video... ...and, if I'm honest, I'm still a little nervous about this - but I'll hopefully become more comfortable doing them with practice (and stop saying 'so errrm' quite so often ).
