Author Topic: Ye Olde Tavern (IMAGE HEAVY)  (Read 2447 times)

This is a project I started a little while after I finished this build's sibling; the Ye Olde Noble's Estate. Again, I can't really say how long it took me to make. I went for a few months building for an hour or so and taking little breaks in between to refresh my creativity.

It's a very accurate rendering of my idea of a medieval inn/tavern. It includes everything I could think of that's needed to run a tavern like this one. I used many pictures and historical (sorta) references to make this as realistic as possible. Anything else was just for looks, and to set the mood.




-This is the basic view from the outside. As you can see, I used the same hill design, since it was the only one I could use that I was sure wouldn't get much criticism. You can see the tavern itself, the mini-stables, and the brick trail running along it. 





-A basic view of the interior. You can imagine the greasy, fat peasants guzzling beer, stuffing their faces, and having a great time around this eating area and bar! :D



-The kitchen attached to the main structure. Shelves, boxes and barrels line the walls, with a table holding prepared meals and a charming... slaughtered duck ready for the roasting.



-An example of one of the rooms that line the upper, larger layer of the tavern. Relatively simple, including a bed, table (or chest, in other cases) holding some wine, a book, and a glass. Simple and cheap.


-One of my favorite parts of the build; the bar. It's not complex at all! Just a few kegs of ale, and a shelf holding glasses for the visitors who stop by for a drink. I think it really highlights the idea of a cheerful, carefree tavern.


-Last, and probably least, is the cellar. It wasn't in the original plan, but I really wanted to put something under the hill, like I did with the Ye Olde Noble's Estate, and the tavern staff needed some place to keep their extra supplies.

I hope you've enjoyed your look into my latest, and (in my opinion) best accomplishment. I would like constructive criticism, and any tips to improve the build would be greatly appreciated. If you wish, please rate #/10.

Thank you!

8/10
Thats good build right there I tell you what

Smexy. I like 7.991562 out of ten (rounded to 8)

Slopes around edges is a little meh. Otherwise I like it.

well i dont think that grey is a good color for a Ye Olde tavern, id suggest like some shade of brown.

but what about the already brown tables you ask? well make the floor a light dirt brown and the wood a darker brown/redish

I was just making this for mah RPG! this is way more epic than mine tho... <3 the kegs :)

I agree with you fully. Actually, I encountered this issue before. I tried making the walls a light brown, but I realized that I had too much in the build already to replace the majority of the color (gray) with yet another brown color. It also wouldn't fit the style I was going for, which would take part in a larger project that's now underway.

Now that you give me the idea, I might make a smaller version of the inn using your suggested strategy! :D

well i cant wait to see what it looks like!

Yes My room design was used :D
Simple and Cheap!

Btw good Job
