	View photographs or visit actual '''Tudor Houses''' and draw a simplification of their designs across '''A4 Card''' - either '''Landscape''' or '''Portrait''' as determined by the house style. Start by drawing two lines across the card: one to represent the '''First Floor''' level and one for the '''Attic'''. For '''Gable-ended''' houses, the '''Attic''' level will be determined by first drawing the 45<sup>0</sup> roof angle from the top centre of the '''Portrait''' oriented card. For side-on houses, the '''Gutter''' line will be about 4 times the 8mm square '''Stripwood''' thickness plus the card thickness for the example shown ''(i.e. about 33mm in total)''.

__TOC__

=====Introduction=====

A complete '''Tudor Street Scene''' can be modelled as a series of '''[[Tudor House Box Model|Tudor House Box Models]]''' or using '''[[Modelling Frames|Stripwood Technology]]''' type constructions. But full 3D models would take up much time and space and so a semi-3D wall frieze can be a good way of displaying a local scene - ''(e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shambles The Shambles, York])''.

=====Preparation=====
[[File:TeaRoomModelled.png|300px|right|The Old Bakery Tea Rooms|link=http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1668933]]

Visit or view photographs of '''[[Tudor Houses]]''' and note that many have a '''Ground Floor''', '''First Floor''' and steeply angled roof which creates space for a room in the '''Attic'''. Some may also have a '''Second Floor'''. Even earlier than '''The Tudors''' there was some standardisation of lengths of timbers and the height of the Ground Floor [[Tudor Houses|''(e.g. ‘In 1276 [in London] it was ordered that jetties, along with pentices and gutters, should be at least 9ft above the ground so as not to impede horsemen.’ ref. The Construction of Medieval and Tudor Houses in London, by Dr John Schofield)'']].

Notice also that many present the steeply angled roof [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gable '''Gable'''] to the street, but several other are side on. This observation suggests that at least two types of relief model will be needed to create a credible street scene.

=====Materials Available=====

* A sheet of '''[[Paper and Card|A4 Card]]]''' ''(medium or thick)'' provides a good starting point: use '''Portrait''' for '''Gable-ended''' houses and '''Landscape''' for others.
* The timber frames can be modelled at this scale by 8mm square '''[[Stripwood Technology Materials|Stripwood]]''' and glued in place using '''[[Glues and Pastes|PVA Glue]]'''
* Infill panels can be painted, covered with brick patterned paper ''(either downloaded from the internet or purchased)'', or a pattern printed on using simple [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relief_printing sponge printing or potato printing] type techniques. ''('''Note:''' paint, cover or print the A4 Card before any cutting out or other modelling.)''
* Roof panels can be made ot of thick card and finished in the same way as infill panels. Alternatively separate card tiles can be cut out and layered on - or the roof could be thatched!
* Windows can be printed out from the internet or made from cellophane on to which a criss-cross lattice is drawn with a thin CD pen.
* Doors are made from thick card and most easily finished using a print-out from the internet and '''[[Adhesive Tapes|Adhesive Tape]]''' used to hinge them in position.

'''Note:'''
Images from the internet can be saved by hovering over them and choosing '''''Save Image As''''' or similar from the right hand mouse button menu options. The saved image will then need to be loaded into software such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Paint '''MS Paint'''], '''[[GIMP]]''', [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Paint '''Libre Office Draw'''] and resized to suit the model.

=====House Designs=====

View photographs or visit actual '''Tudor Houses''' and draw a simplification of their designs across '''A4 Card''' - either '''Landscape''' or '''Portrait''' as determined by the house style. Start by drawing two lines across the card: one to represent the '''First Floor''' level and one for the '''Attic'''. For '''Gable-ended''' houses, the '''Attic''' level will be determined by first drawing the 450 roof angle from the top centre of the '''Portrait''' oriented card. For side-on houses, the '''Gutter''' line will be about 4 times the 8mm square '''Stripwood''' thickness plus the card thickness for the example shown ''(i.e. about 33mm in total)''.

=====Construction=====

The card for '''Gable-ended''' designs should be cut along the roof lines and the design for the '''First Floor''' and '''Attic''' reproduced on separate pieces of card. These will be spaced out and 'sandwiched' by layers of '''Stripwood''' to create the '''Attic''' projection and the overhanging '''Jetty''' as shown.

Windows and doorways should be cut out and the Card surfaces finished before assembling together with '''Stripwood''' spacers and frames. The lengths of '''Stripwood''' are most easily painted before being glued on to the card pieces.

The alternative, 'side-on' '''Tudor House''' designs and made similarly with the exception that only a separate '''First Floor''' card is needed.

The two basic designs can be varied in terms of door and window positions for example, and a complete street scene created by assembling several together.
