I’m building an asylum and need some lighting inspiration. The building is somewhat old fashioned… I’m not actually sure how to classify it. I based it on this:
I think I want a chandelier above the steps. I’m not sure if I want one on the porch too. Regardless, I would really appreciate some inspiration and tips. Chandeliers are something I haven’t ever attempted before. I have checked out The Smelly Couch and have some ideas, but they may be above my skill level.
Tips, pics, etc. are appreciated. Also, feel free to check out the building on Melancholia (if you’re so inclined). I’ll probably add more pics of the specific area to this post tonight after work.
I just need some help with this one. Thanks in advance!
Building a chandelier is best done on a 1 block centre depending on the size. Looking at your pictures it looks like a 2 block centre coming up those stairs. Which is still doable. It’ll just be a bigger chandelier hanging from 4 chains rather then one. I used a combination of lattice and bevel chisel on the ones in the smelly couch but have some bigger chandeliers in our guild headquarters that are 2x2 centre.
I like it, I can’t believe this is your first attempt. You are learning so fast about building techniques. I’m sure you’ll be one of this amazing builders.
Thanks @WendyVandecatsye and @Dubbanz! It went through a few different forms before that one. I may add onto it, but I am also considering keeping it as is. I will say that my progress has a lot to do with this community. I have gotten a lot of great tips and really amazing builds to learn from.
@XxymoxX — that’s a pretty awesome display. Thank you for sharing. I could see that inspiring some of the lighting I need to put in when I expand Nezhvlad Labs.
My first attempt at one was horrible
Great to see your progress , keep it up
