Sorry, I do graphic design for a living and I do a good bit with tessellating textures so I tend to pick things like that up rather quickly. And if you don't like these textures, there are usually 3 others in the set that might be more to your liking. But you haven't seen those textures anywhere before, except on my other models or actual buildings. They may look computer-generated here because they were put together in Photoshop for promotional purposes and you're not seeing the fine detail because it's a 72dpi image.

I use photographic elements for almost all of the textures. But that's a Photoshop flub of mine, more than it's a failing on the look of the actual model. Looking at it now, I probably should have used heavier lines for the borders around the door, which is how the real thing looks to me (now that I study it a bit more closely). I didn't have a good way to convey a sense of depth to them (because there isn't any), so I used a little bit of shading around the layer I chose for that door to keep it from being such a harsh transition. On the real model, the gate doors are flush with the outer wall. The real model is used so that the geometry of the piece is correct.

Then I select some of the optional layers that I think will work well together, and build up a clean-looking graphic from those so that I can control the shadows, eliminate any blur or overexposure from the flash, and that sort of thing. When I create these promo graphics, I photograph the real model and open that photo in PS. For the promo graphic, it's just a Photoshop layer. On the real thing, the door isn't simply a layer - it's a working door. I probably could have done a better job on the gate doors. You've got a sharp eye! I'm sorry you don't like the promo graphic. Bear in mind that the components in this set allow for a sprawling layout without any limits.ĬONTENTS: This set includes 13 pages of components, including everything needed to construct the watch towers, walls, roofs, dormers, buttresses, columns, pillars, angled struts, walkways, two types of railings, gate doors, ladders and more.īe sure to visit DavesGames.Net to see my entire collection of papercraft models and upcoming releases.

The shorter of the two watch tower variants is approximately 6.4" tall, and the taller of the watch towers stands approximately 8.75" tall. There are also several layers of weathering and additional details, including doors, windows, lamps, ivy and more.ĭIMENSIONS: The walls in this set are 3.5" tall and 1/4" thick, and are supplied in widths from 1" to 6" and every half-inch in between. All of the walls feature four distinct base textures: wood, red stone, gray stone and bricks. MULTI-LAYERED FILES: The PDFs included in this modular model set are multi-layered and contain a variety of surface textures and external features that you can customize with the click of your mouse.
