Merryinn Blacksmith. 2018

Workbench Wednesday: Merryinn (Marion) Blacksmith in ten steps.

As with the rest of Merryinn, the blacksmith is perched on a small prominence to afford some protection. Basing with one inch green foam.

Starting a new project, a blacksmith for Merryinn. You can see, I don’t really plan or sketch stuff out first, I mostly just start with an idea. In this case, an “L” shaped blacksmith forge, with a second story entry.

I started this project by carving out a forge, and a set of stairs. Everything else will have to fall into place around that.

Workbench Wednesday.

I’ve gotten the upper story and roof line all figured out. Now to dissect piece by piece and start carving in details and gluing it all together.

This is one box top worth of roof tiles. Since they overlap, the materials used are double the area of the actual roof.

I wan’t super happy with just how large I let the blacksmith get, so I decided to remedy the situation. I’ve taken out the wall on the lower storey and replace it with a large door, making that half of the building into a barn or stable. The other lower level becomes a storage shed area, and the upper storey on the stair side becomes the entire living area.

Workbench Wednesday.

Quick update, the base of the roof is on the Blacksmith. I’m using a lid from a model box for this one. I put the glossy side out for a reason though. The inside of the box takes paint better, and the tiles will be plain side out. Glossy to glossy glues better as well.
