Dearest Gentle Members :D,
Before we start, I am still quite overwhelmed by all your lovely comments on the Estate WIP. Thank you so much!
As I mentioned, the next theme will be The Estate Set, and Part 1 consists of 48 items. Let me give a summary of what is included:
A Front Door
Glass Doors
Georgian Windows
An Arches Window
Stone Frames for Windows and Doors
A Portico for the Front Door
Pediments with and without Corbel
Quoins
Functional Friezes
Functional Foot Trims
Gable Frieze Pieces
Woodbine Vines
Guttering
Stone Urn
Stone Wall
Brick Wall
I want to discuss a few extra details. Let's start with your favourite Vines. There are five pieces with different shapes. The vines have seven colour swatches, creating a gradient from very green to red tips when placed next. It looks lovely as a Wall with colour variation in your Vines. You should try it :)
For the first time, I created functional friezes and foot trims; I don't think I can ever go back. They are so easy to use and speed up building a lot. However, I added a few extra pieces to create proper pediments for your estates, something I have always wanted.
I have separated my windows from their frames, giving more options and colour combinations. This month, I created a separate Palladian window frame. You place two of the small windows next to the arched window, you place the Stone Frame on top, and voila, you have a Venetian Window :D.
Most of the Stone pieces have aged colour swatches. Whether you prefer a freshly renovated look or more Patina, the choice is yours :)
Generally, to make things easy and to give you more freedom while building, I like to use bb.moveobjects and ctrl + F5 for quarter tile placement. There are a lot of details, and sometimes, they go on top of each other.

I think that's it from my side. I hope you will enjoy using the items as much as I did. If you happen to share your builds via social media, don't be shy about tagging me. I love seeing what you are creating, and it also helps me understand how you are using the items. Thank you so much for everything, and happy building!!!
Lots of Love,
