Terraclips Build Two

Hi there, welcome back (or first time welcome). The past two weeks have been crazy enough that just now I have been able to upload some pics of a variety of projects I was working on. Right now I am able to present to you my Complete Build Two using the all 3 of the Terraclips sets again.

Again with my limited space option the whole piece is in sections for ease of storage and ease of accessing different areas. The complete build is a total of 1 3/4'x1 1/2', but it is also 4 layers, 6 for the tallest house. This build I have dubbed "The Manor", and as you will see is pretty cool (at least I thought so). So without wait, enjoy the pics!

First off we have a few overviews with different angles:

Front Overview. Here you can see an entrance into

the guest house and the fountain in the front.

Right side overview. Ignore the open walls (again I was short walls for the build).

But look at the balcony connecting the 2 buildings together. And that roof...

Back overview. Here you can see the balcony better.

 Left side Overview. From this angle you can see the main house entrance

and the balcony connecting to the second floor.

Lets tear the buildings down bit by bit, with a play by play.:

 Top roof of main building removed.

You can see 3 rooms on the top floor.

 Second layer removed. This includes the main roof of the

second building and the complete roof of the first.

 Third layer removed. Here you can see multiple rooms in each

building and the balcony that connects the two buildings.

 Fourth layer removed from the main house, 

just to show the balcony sitting freely and how it connects.

Fourth layer completely removed, including the balcony. The archways in the back

are not connected in any fashion and that area is open outdoors type.

Next we will take a closer look at how I did that fountain sitting in the front.

 Close view of the fountain. For this piece was rather simple.

We took the fountain floor tile and placed arches joined

together on top, not attached to the tile.

 Here you can see the arches simply removed.

 

This was a little smart on my part (i think). I took a Sewer floor tile

and connected it to other floor tiles with the T-Clip. Then to build

up the fountain, I simply used the balcony sides as the "walls".

Quite easy and gives some height to the fountain without it being too tall. Also gives nice structure to the piece without hindering for movement.

Next we will tear down the rest of the build for your excitement!

 As you can guess, the Sewers are underneath the build. 2 layers of sewer crawl, smell that?

 First half of the streets gone for show of sturdiness.

 Street level all gone. Here are the sewers top floor.

Notice the gap in flooring middle right side?

 close up of gap in floor. This was to lead a way between the two sewer levels.

 Bottom right corner. This is directly below the main house.

 Bottom left corner, directly below the fountain area.

Backside area.

 Half of first floor removed. The gap in first floor falls right

into the three-way tile.

 Complete bottom level of sewers (and the build). Again walls are missing, but doesnt prevent the sturdiness of the build once tiles are joined together.

Sewers lower level, broken apart to show how they separate.

And there you have it! Out of all the clips I purchased, I still had no L-Clips left over. The walls again were scarce, and if you look close enough, the buildings had a mix of street and building walls. Again this was using only 1 box of each of the Terraclips and 4 boxes of connectors. It was, and still is, fun to make these builds and I hope you enjoyed this one!

Terraclips Build One

Well after some free time I was able to squeeze into the past week, I was able to make a complete build out of all three of the Terraclips sets! Now this was a massive build, I wanted it to be a decent size and it came out great. 3'x3', you read correctly, three feet by three feet of awesome build. This was done with only 1 copy of each box (Streets, Sewers, and Buildings of Malifaux) and 4 boxes of clips. If I had extra cash, I would have gladly bought another box of streets or buildings (probably buildings) to fill up more areas like the one tiny area with nothing there - I ran out of ground.

Also, because of the limited space for storage, I had to build each section in 2'x2' areas. This is why you will not see clips connecting every tile and also why different sections can be removed for the lower levels. But easier to store, which makes me happy.

I now present you with Build One of the Terraclips, all three sets were used in this making. Enjoy the pic heavy madness!!

Overview of complete Build One. Notice that one tiny area left bare?

It was between that or a taller building.

Overview from a different angle.

 Overview from the back.

 Side angle.

 Next we will be going section by section to reveal the layers beneath. This may take a while.

Bottom Left corner. Note the catwalk leading from the streets to the lookout area.

Lookout area top floor.

 Underneath the lookout area.

 Catwalk removed as well as the bottom floor of lookout area.

 Top Right corner. Note the beautiful buildings. 

We will call it a church for now.

 Top roof of church removed. The rest of the roof is inaccessible,

the walls just for support.

 The roof removed! Exposed ground floor...or is it?

 Ground floor of the area. Stairs lead up to church ground floor,

and appears to be sewers underneath?

Middle Top side. We shall call this the Merchants House.

Notice the L shape of the building, very tricky.

 Another angle shot of the Merchants House. Here you can see the roof was not attached,

I ran out of the angle pieces.

 Although with roof not attached all the way, I can do split reveal on the top floor.

 Roof completely removed for the Merchant House. Notice the balcony area

(I did forget to attach the last piece of balcony)

 Top floor removed for the Merchant House. Pay no attention to the Sewer Tile,

I needed a floor piece and this was hidden anyways.

 Merchant House removed, sewers revealed. Is there

a secret passage that connects the two?

 Middle Left section. The Inn.

 Roof removed. Ugly green floors. Also yes, another piece

of railing was forgotten here.

 Top floor of Inn removed. Quite basic actually.

 Inn section removed to reveal the sewers below. Notice how a small section

of the Inn remains on the tile section above it.

Middle section. Old House. You can see the stairs that would lead to the area of the Merchant House.

Also, the roof of this tiny old house is partially missing (I had no roof tiles left.)

 Old House roof removed.

 Under the Old house appears to be a sewer entrance...

Top Left section. Nothing much really here, a part of the Inn and basic street.

 Under the street is the rest of the sewer area!

Well you saw each section revealed and torn down to bottom most layer.  Now we are going to build the city back up level by level, bit by bit.

Ground level overview of Build One. 

 Level 2 attached to each section.

 Level 3 added to each section.

 Level 4 added to each section. Mostly rooftops.

Overall view and complete Build One!

This was great fun to build, even figuring out how to connect it all was a frustrating joy, a joy none the less. Even with skipping some clip connectors and using the T-Clips instead of L-Clips, I did run out of L-Clips. I did purchase 4 boxes remember?

Until next time.
