Historical tip: to save money on building materials home builders had small footprints on the ground floor, and the 2nd floor was mostly made of wood with a floor plan that would over-hang the ground floor footprint. Some times a 3rd floor was added as the family grew or a business/ cottage industry had to grow. Sometimes those 3rd floors were close enough to the 3rd floors of neighbouring homes, neighbours could shake hands. E.g. City of York, U.K.
Houses were also taxed based on their footprint initially, but when people started expanding outwards on upper levels this was changed to a "window" tax, which would then base taxation levels on the quantity of livable rooms in a home.
This had a lot of other advantages early on as well. The overhang would help reduce the need for gutters to keep water away from the foundation, and provide dry storage space for outdoor items when a separate shed would not be practical. The 2nd floor weight being on the over-hanging timbers also reduced the need for internal structure and supporting walls that would otherwise be needed to support the floor above because they would naturally bow up-wards in the middle of the floor instead of collapsing down in the middle. Not the best design by today's standards, but pretty innovative for what they had to work with at the time.
Excellent project - I bought the files. One thought the design traps resin during printing. It might need a hole inserted so unused resin can drain out.
Aww, I would totally give young Studson the city to play with. My daughter has been using it the most so far, she has little people she makes walk across and tells stories with it. (she's 3)
I want to build a futuristic miniature city. If I can't live in one, at least I will have one to look at in the real world. This is a hobby that I can definitely see myself get into.
Yeah, the more of these videos I watch, the more sold I am on the idea of moving to a smaller scale before I start my next campaign. I have wanted to kick things up a notch on the table pieces, but keeping things at a 5' to 1" scale just makes for massive props that require too much detailing, and take up too much space. Moving to a smaller scale just makes things waaaay more manageable to make in the first place while making things much more expansive.
Absolutely gorgeous, I've done a couple christmas villages in this scale (with trains!), looking at getting a good resin printer and inexpensive laser engraver to do houses and other details I couldn't do very well back in the day.
Dude your skill level on these projects is insane. The Cathedral you did, this project and many others blow my mind. Keep up the awesome content, I can’t get enough.
I've been wanting to do something like this for a while now, and then BAM! Knarb throws it right on to youtube, supplies the stl files, and has a guide. Your timing is perfection my guy! :) Thanks for the video, stl, and for just existing!
@@badwolfforge It's linked in the description like he said it would be. Check the description, then scroll down to where is says "KnarbMakes", beneath that are links (Video | About | Instagram | Facebook | Pinterest) and right beneath that are a link to the models, and a video from Wyloch's armory on how put LEDs in miniature terrain. Hope this helps :)
Your medieval city shows what kind of impact a 10mm (N scale) city can make --- beautiful! Add a couple of hay carts and sprinkle a few figures around for frosting on the cake. Thanks for the upload ~ looking forward to your other projects.
I am a simple guy, I see cute little city, I fall in love ! Can't resist to imagin some frostgrave game inside your tiny city ! Great job ! Still suprise that you don't have more subcriber ^^
that is awesome just felt sooo brief for all the work that went into it.. you could have swept through the city for a good long while showing all that off.. it looked like the water was amazing with all that underpainting
I love this project. Thank you! I just finished painting my first 10mm resin 3d printed army for a game called Fantastic Battles. I reckon it's time to print up a farmhouse or two.
Very inspiration for those of us "thinking" about jumping in....I live in an historic New England town that I'd like to do in a 1:160 N scale with passenger train...that luckily has fewer structures. But you've provided some very helpful suggestions.
I think it's really great what you are doing with the 3D printing machine. I even gave you a thumbs up, but personally I am so much more impressed when people make these miniatures by hand, because I, like many other people who watch these videos don't have the funds to buy a 3D printer. Not saying that you don't work hard at it. I've seen others working on their computers and see how hard it is to make their ideas come to life. I'm just a retired man with little funds to do much and like to work with my hands and make something out of nothing. Wishing you the best in this new year. Sincerely, Jestunes
Looks good! I work in multiple scales. From 1/16, 1/35, 1/72 and 1/160 to 1/700 and 1/3000. N-scale (1/160) is maybe one of the best scale to do everything worth working on. It is small enough. And big enough to do details. Nice work!
Very nice build. Thanks for making the buildings available to purchase. 10mm has become my new favorite scale over the last few years so I am slowly building up terrain and armies.
That was the most enjoyable video I have seen in a long while... I absolutely loved it, This seems so rewarding to make your own creations; towns and water... so freaking cool.. Thank you for sharing.. All the best!
@@KnarbMakes You definitely could've done it, but your point about efficiency and automation was a really good one. It's one of the best arguments for using 3D printing IMO.
Just imagine someone that could build a modern tiny world like this you could play with with micro machine cars... I'd pay for that.. hours of fun with my grand children.
Literally wonderful! :D I've long thought that for minis to paint 28mm is about the sweet spot, the biggest you can get away with before it becomes too awkward, and the smallest you can get before you start losing chances to paint details. But for terrain? The smallest you can get, the more awesome you can go! With 10mm you can build actual cities! I can imagine the terrain builds you could get to in the smallest scales (3 or even 2mm!), but 10 or 15mm looks great for gaming when you still want some detail on the figures. Now i wanna see a proper cyberpunk city in this scale :D
Thank you! For sure. Painting minis at 10mm scale is hard to do with fidelity, but buildings come out pretty good! I could have done a better job, but i limited my time spent painting to have any chance of finishing this project in less than an eternity.
@@KnarbMakes Yes indeed - you could go crazy on detail, endledssly, but there's no need to peer into every nook and cranny ...it works perfectly on its own terms. Completely inspirational - I worried about the epoxy, which must have been a major hassle, but it was certainly all worth the trouble.
Sorry meant to say WH40K got caught in the moment and just went WHK which is a chicken sound not to be associated with this franchise, franchisees or parties not to be associated with or beholden to these greedy greedy sexy GW people! ;)
my crude sweet potatoe box diaramas seem so simple now ! But of course I don't have all the nice machines you have. I have made a few diaramas . So far a hot wheels scale classic pick-up truck scene with small Christmas trees in the back of the trucks. Spray snow and a winter sceen from a calendar of Swiss countryside. My second one is mini-Teepees with small pine trees and a calendar scene of a small buffalo and mountains in the background. I am pleased with them. But they are nowhere as cool as yours. Beautiful job. Thank you for inspiring me !
Nice Blender work! Laser engraver = Sweet! Up next, robotic arm. I was so nervous watching you pour the resin for the canals., “Don’t hit the bridge!” “Watch out!” Whew. This build came out amazing! I love the lights, the adorable wood plank bridge and the overall paint job, very inspiring. Rock on!
Nicely done, Knarb! I do appreciate the 10mm scale, but my heart is in 6mm (for true-scale operational level gaming-a la WWII). Regardless, yet another informative and useful production. You are da Maaaannnnn! Cheers!
While rockhounding I've collected several pieces that are 'landscapey'. I display them with HO scale people. This seems to bring people into the structure, adding a story line to the display. Buildings would be nice. Thanks.
Daaaaaaang dude. This turned out amazing! Tip of the hat on them blender skillz.😎. You’d mentioned issues with the resin pour but things seemed to turn out alright. Were there any other issues you were having? Overall fantastic project on a much more manageable scale. 🙂
Thank you sir. After the overall leaking issues, I had some issues with the very middle not curing fully. Ended up doing another topcoat and it seems ok now.

Looks very Fable Brightwall esque 😊😊
First time channel viewer. Really nice outcome. Makes me want to get my medieval castle with village idea started.
You should! Thanks for watching!
Absolutely fantastic. This feels like the sort of fantasy terrain I see in my head, as opposed to normal 28mm scale.
Par excellence! I love it. That is old school cinema FX worthy!
"let me know what you think" what is there to say, this is stunning!
I love hearing that musical background at the beginning of this video. It reminds my of the time I play fantasy video games lol , also it's relaxing.
Amazing work! The very first glamour shot with the lights on, oh boy!
I'm loving the way the lights turned out! Thanks!

Exit card fully covers the final shot o the city. Nice one.
so well done using modeling techniques, 3d modeling, and 3d printing. wow. i need to learn how to do this one day
Looks good!

Beautiful! Such clever use of various technology to create this!
Great job brother!! Thank you for the houses!! I play Warmaster and me and my buddies will totally dig these new terrain bits!
Awesome! Enjoy!
looks so beautiful okay!!!!!!!! and oh the painting you have is very beautiful as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you very much WL!!!!!!!
That was the most enjoyable video I have seen in a long while... I absolutely loved it, This seems so rewarding to make your own creations; towns and water... so freaking cool.. Thank you for sharing.. All the best!
Really great use of so many different tools, Knarb. The city looks PHENOMENAL! Well done!
Thanks Danny. 3D printing really elevates it to levels I couldn't have done without it.
@@KnarbMakes You definitely could've done it, but your point about efficiency and automation was a really good one. It's one of the best arguments for using 3D printing IMO.
Looks awesome! Love the idea of smaller scale to make more fit.
wow... that's very clever. I'm jealous I cannot game using it. well done brother
Lovely. Wow my friend its beautiful. I am planing to build a city on a ball. I learn allot from your video.
Your use of the laser for the banks/cobblestone is AWESOMe. I have an old k40 laser here that I could even to dungeon walls with!
They are surprisingly versatile for their simplicity!
Magnificent work - particularly the water effect and the fairly lights - I've seen a lot of dioramas but this rates exceptional.
awesome work. really inspiring and might try this for a warmaster board
Just imagine someone that could build a modern tiny world like this you could play with with micro machine cars... I'd pay for that.. hours of fun with my grand children.
Here I am, rewatching yet again as I have a growing collection of 3D printed 10mm houses. Thanks for inspiring!
Haha, nice! Fun to just play around positioing them isnt it
@@KnarbMakes It sure is! :D
Yeah, I love it! Incredible work Knarb! I could live there! Beautiful!

So many good ideas in this build! (and the fact that it's N Scale makes me swoon) Great job!
I don't what I'd do with it but I want one!! Really impressive.
I am just floored by how amazing this town is :O
remarkable is an understatement. bravo
i just got into diorama making and I'm gonna be binging all of your vids
Few can dream of doing it. But few make it happen. Wonderful work
I was thinking Stormwind right before you said it. Very cool, man. Turned out awesome
This was awesome. I love the smaller scale, so much more area that could be modeled.
Glad you like it!
Only 28 seconds in and I'm like awwww dude! Smashed it mate! I subscribed myself, soooooo amazing! Hats off hombre!
Thanks a ton!
...Oh and caught your WHK 3d/2d battle-mat roll out fun. That was some cute IP right there. Innovative as!

Love this! I think I'm going to have to try some smaller scale builds
You never cease to amaze Knarb! This was really amazing. Also, great thinking on the silicone.
The silicone actually peels off nicely after the epoxy cures too!
@@KnarbMakes very good to know!
Absolutely amazing mate
It looks awesome. You have a definite talent!! Thanks for sharing it!
Awesome job on that. It looks great.
Man nice city u definitely wanna design some nice city’s like that
Absolutely love this! Thanks for sharing this! Big inspiration!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Dude holy crap this was awesome. I would love to see you create a fantasy city similar to this but in 6mm scale next!
This is awesome! Will have to try to make a medieval city myself. Nice work!
The detail on this is insane!! Well done!
This is AMAZING! congratulations knarb :-)
Thanks Brent! It's fun to work at this scale.
Very nice work.....Love the creativity.
That turned out great bro' can't wait to see more of your work...
what a beast.
it really looks amazing
Very impressive, a lot of different skills there being used
love it . miniatures are so fun to see
Can you do a CHRISTMAS VILLAGE? I really would like you to show me how to build one Knarb👍👍
Thank you. I look forward to seeing that presentation
This is bloody amazing. Inspiring mate!

I love your work. I am about to create a railway in the 1930's. Covering 24' x 12' shed area but 2' deep. So plenty of buildings to create.
Thanks so much! Excited to see your project!
Yesterday we decided to start a 10mm Kings of War group. I bought your buildings; they look like they'll work fine as scatter terrain.
Awesome Mitch! Hope they come out nicely.
Stunning! Wow!
Looks really good.

What an epic project! Well done on all counts, Knarb!
Absolutely incredible Knarb - well done

28mm for skirmishes and villages. 10mm for wars and cities! 10mm is too perfect, especially in this era of 3D printing. Great work!
