Printed out Curufin's tables. Turned out pretty good. I was a little heavy on the highlights.. I might redo them. Thanks Curufin I'll have my tavern populated no time

I would not change a thing, jennifer ! Table looks superb. Miniature painting is typically done with exaggeration. Keep on painting/crafting... This piece is done, even without sticking a fork into it. Cheers!

Thanks. Curufin does such awesome work it makes it easy to paint I printed it in black and just dry brushed on some espresso heavily. Then a bit lighter dry brush with burnt umber. Then light dry brush with honey brown .. then a dry brush dusting with cocoa. Actually looking at the piece right now in my hand, it looks better than in that photo. I think it is the lighting angle, making it look more flat and less three dimensional than what it really is. EDIT: Printing off another set right now Probably going to print another after this one. I figure 6 tables should be enough no?

Just a photo to show that I've printed & painted six of Curufin's awesome tables.. not the best photo but oh well Glued the first pair with super glue. Used e6000 on the last two sets. Seems like e600 is working fine, for these tables at least. Wish I knew of a glue that melts PLA plastic and essentially welds two PLA pieces together.. much like Tamira does with the sprue plastic.

They look great! One of these days I'm gonna have to print me some of that furniture too.

Holding off on a large tavern floor until Wyloch & Curufin (Curuloch giggle) make their tavern floor tiles available Look especially forward to the 4x4 tavern tile as I could plop down just four of them for a large area instead of sixteen.

Working on printing out the modular bar. Many more pieces still printing. Here are the three pieces I have done so far. The temporary floor is a color laser printout.. each square is 1.25" -- preparing myself of Wyloch TrueTiles tavern tiles whenever they become available

Devon Jone's Bread OvenKitchen workers pull a couple of tables up near the big bread oven, to stay warm, while relaxing from a hard day's work. Playing some cards, drinking some ale & eating a freshly baked sourdough boule. Also, printed and just painted Curufin's awesome chairs for the tavern tables! (Bread is made of sculpey in the shape I actually bake my bread at home, with the starfish scoring and all). I haven't glued the top of the oven to the base yet and I noticed in the photo it isn't perfectly centered, but it will be when I glue it

I used to use e6000 but it's not the greatest hold on PLA. I switched to Loctite Super Glue Gel Control and haven't found a better glue for PLA yet. Holds in seconds also.
What are your tavern floor tiles in that pic?

What are your tavern floor tiles in that pic? I am using Loctite Super Glue Gel as well and most of my tavern stuff is glued with that. I just started experimenting with e600 with it. Got a nice adhesion but made a bit of a mess with it .. was hard to clean the gunk off before painting lol. The tavern floor is just a color laserjet printout -- as a temporary prop until TrueTiles Tavern Tiles become available

The problem I had with E6000 is it's too soft. If a part gets any pressure it will eventually bend or droop. It's probably fine for really small stuff but I had issue with my pinball mods. I will just stick with Loctite from now on.

No chimney? I'd make the opening into the area under the supporting platform larger so I could store firewood there. That's what most people seem to do with that otherwise unused space.

I noticed all that as well. Looks like the oven is a "cob oven", and those are outdoor ovens. They don't have a chimney, the smoke comes out the front that's why there is that soot mark in front. Once I get a suitable indoor oven I'll make this an outdoor oven. But for now I'll imagine that this world has some impressive and unexplained ventilation that manages to suck out the smoke while this oven is fired up. EDIT: I do know there are indoor BBQ joints here in the states that have arrays of weber kettle grills inside, with appropriate ventilation. So there must be a way to ventilate I don't know if in the middle ages there were indoor cob ovens, i.e. if there was appropriate ventilation for them. All I have seen are outdoor cob ovens. Example of real cob oven: The smaller opening for firewood doesn't bother me that much.. you can still fit wood in there.. but you might have to crawl in to do so lol.

I think you CAN build those inside if you make some kind of chimney. I don't know what that might look like though. You would want a damper so you could keep all the heat in once you removed the coals and put the bread in. But a spell on the oven to magically send the smoke elsewhere sounds good to me.
And you found something to do with the unused space beneath the oven!
I've seen a medieval illustration of two bakers carrying a small cob oven on a litter-type platform. So just think - for the adventurer who can afford the servants, horses, etc, s/he could have a portable bread oven for fresh bread every day.

The Tavern of the Dead is growing every day. Bar back, kegs, wine bottles & ale mugs next. Also another oven, a stove & kitchen workbench. And a fireplace as well. Have some stools and chairs to paint. I made four 6x6 tiles which are TrueTiles scale.. i.e. each square is 1.25 inches. So each of the 4 tiles are 7.5 inches square. I simply printed them out on my color laser printer and adhered to medium weight chipboard and cut with my paper cutter. (Adhered with Avery permanent glue stick, so it doesn't wrinkle the paper.)

Very nice, really starting to look like a place with a lot of atmosphere! How much for a tankard of ale?
