WIP Clocktower and courtyard of the Unseen University

[L-space]

So I bought myself a flickr-pro account and that led me to uploading the WIP shots of the Great Hall part 1 (all 90 of them).

flickr set WIP, flickr set Great Hall, (Eurobricks topics can be via the index in my signature.)

And that also gave me the idea to show the progress of the courtyard.

I decided to move the mosaic to the centre of the courtyard to give it a more prominent place.

Also visible the ground work for part 1 and 2 of the Clocktower.

I have also decided to add the Bridge of Size and the Wizard´s Pleasaunce to the University. Mainly because I ahd a great idea for a bridge and then it sort of found its way to the Unseen University.

Congrats for your pro account and sorry for your wallet!

It's very cool to have your splendid work shot in various angles now in flickr

Very nice work L-space!

The SNOT work here deserves some attention.

I can't wait for more.

Very promising, the tiling work of the courtyard is looking great already even in its incomplete state. This will certainly be a good addition to your Unseen University project. Very well done as usual L-Space!

It looks very good so far, L-Space! I always liked your little dwarves WIP signs. I look forward to the finished model. Well done!

Thanks for the comments guys. Nice to know there are people out there appriciating your work.

To be clear, it is the same tiling as was direct in front of the Great Hall. But with the courtyard taking shape it just didn't feel right. So I decided to move it to a more prominent place: the centre. It is a bit bigger though; 1 stud on all 4 sides.

The dwarves represent my two kids helping me on and of when building and dwarves all well known for their building skills. On Lowlug I saw someone with a minifig in his photo-signature and that gave me the idea to design the WIP sign with the dwarves.

that looks massive, you might have to build an anctual wing on to the house just to fit it. look very forward to seeing the progress.

This looks great so far 'L-space'. I can see this is going to be very large! Can't wait to see this progress

Some bricklink orders later I'm trying if blue letters work better.

I wasn't that pleased with yellow after all.

Now I have to wait for more white tiles so I can get a good look of what it will be like.

Inspired by the shirt of a colleague I tried a new, four colour, scheme and I think it worked out great.

So I'm now redoing all of the tiling including the entrance to the Great Hall.

The Rimward side of the courtyard is finished. Now I'm in need of more tiles to finish the other three sides.

The finished pics of the Courtyard won't be published untill the entire Main Octangle is done.

That concludes the WIP shots of the Courtyard, so not to spoil the surprise.

For part 1 of the Clocktower the foundation has been layed. The tiling attaches to the Courtyard.
