3D Modelling of Kinfauns March 2019

I took some time this weekend  to upgrade the 3D model

Some painting have been added on the walls but that's partial
. Among other, Lennon's mural will be added to its pool location tonight

Déc 2018

Quite busy those days.

Please note that I have started uploading another model of Kinfauns, this time with textures.

Heres a link if you want to see for yourself

On a side note, in my everyday search, I found a new pic of Kinfauns. New ? Yes or no, it's available but in a much cropped version, here's a better one

Another good news came from Sara Schmidt (aka Starshyne) from Meey The Beatles For Real blog (http://meetthebeatlesforreal.blogspot.com/) who kindly provide me a sketch of the house before the Music Room was built. Thanks Sara !

Summer 2018

Here are some news :

1- I finally got hold of a Kinfauns video. Very brief one but you can view it here

2- I finaly uploaded my own modelling of the bungalow, it's the untextured version.
Sketchfab model - click here

3-I found two more pictures of Kinfauns. I believe they were taken by Sylvan Mason Whittingham and shot in the early 70's, before the wall was white washed. The first one is available with a quick search but I believe in a cropped version or maybe it's an alternate shot.

March 2018

Good news : I found some additionnal photos of Kinfauns

1 A new picture of the music room, shot by Henry Grossman at George Harrison 24th birthday party. Obviously taken from "Place I remember - My times with the Beatles". I really wish I had a larger resolution (or even better, the Grossman's book), but sadly, I don't.

Obviously, it's the Byrd's David Crobsy, on the far right.

2- New pictures for the John Haynes April 1969 session, provided by the Cosmic Empire blog. Definitely worth checking out as they show an undocumented wall (the one with the round windows of the music room, and an access to the kitchen).

Here are some below, but I suggest you check Lindsey's wonderful site by yourself.

A sad news came earlier from Elena the Beatles photoblog, that used without permission my comments from George Harrison 1967 birthday. On the light side, this video shows some upgrades of a few shots. I have then enhanced some photos posted earlier.

Here's a link to this hijack

Merry new year everyone.

Not much to tell actually this month, health issues among others disturb me from going any further.

I'll use this page as a reminder of things I have found.

Paper Kinfauns by Dirk Stevesyns

Hi everyone, and best wishes for the year to come.

I have receieved, directly from its author, the map of a paper Kinfauns, no less.
I did receive yesterday LQ scans of his creation (the whole set is made of six A3 sheets) and tweeked them a bit for Blender. This represents Kinfauns in late 1967, before the south wall received it's black and white mural. Thanks Dirk Stevesyns for your work
Here are below two renders. Enjoy !

News from week 50

Not much to tell actually, but still progressing though. I'm really going back to basics, discovering new things every day. I believe I have found out how to finish the northern part that has differents roof slopes.

On the right is the music room with the bay windows. Below those windows is the "Mick and marianne were here" graffiti, painted as the Harrison were missing


Work has started on the entrance door. Still missing the "Please go away" sticker though

Also work has started to enhance the southwall. Sadly the left part is too blury, sadly

also Modeling, modeling and modeling. Thanks Sylvan for the first picture, that was used as a model for the second one below
