Pirate / tropical village houses

The next "village builder" set I am working on will be "Tropical Village" houses. Originally intended for gaming with Pirates on an Island, they should also work well for Jungle Village, Pacific Huts and others in this area.

Here are some concept sketches to begin with.


The idea is to have some house and extension modules that you can combine for lots of variety and unique looking houses. Mix that with texture and color options and you have the potential for even large villages with no house looking the same!



The first look I am going for will be inspired by the colorful Caribbean architexture, but of course you can just use the uncolored "wood" version too. Later I want to make a version with bamboo texture for a more Pacific Islands look. The roof will be palm frond/leaf.

I am looking forward to dig into this new style of buildings :-)

Chris

Nice start. You could put them on stilts and make an overwater village.

Great idea. I could make different height of the under-the-platform construction parts and weather them different. Green and gray for the overwater village.

Great idea about the stilts. You could have a series of piers and connecting bridges. Or consider the "Blue Bayou" scene in the beginning of The Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

Interesting project with these caribbean/pacific huts.
I've always liked them. There's just something charming and beautiful in this jungle architecture.

Here are a couple of white build prototypes. I wanted to test a new way of assembling the modules in case you want to take them apart again.

My idea is to use the raised platform part and cut out some alignment areas where the flaps of the other parts will help make everything come together right.


So you take the bottom posts part, lay the platform part on that, then comes the walls with the bottom tabs and finally the roof. All of these have these tabs on the underside which help to align and position the next module in the right place. Combine that with a "fold-flat" build version of the walls and you can take everything apart and store it in small space!


The only downside of this approach is that I need different platform parts for each layout I want to build. But as these are so cheap, fast and easy to build the advantages of this approach should outweigh the cons by far.
