Hearst Castle Update 1

It's been a while since I have posted anything to PMC, however I have still been actively building. This is a project that I started years ago, and is currently on the third iteration. Here are some exterior shots:

Hearst Castle is a real-life estate located on the coast of central California, owned by newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst, and designed by architect Julia Morgan. Construction started in 1919, but the estate was never formally completed. The portion that I am building, referred to as "the hilltop," consists of four houses (the largest of which exceeding 60,000 sqft in area), two swimming pools, and many gardens and overlooks to the surrounding hills and ocean.

I have only finished the basic outline of two houses, the facade of the main house, and a small portion of the grounds. I plan to model the entire hilltop complex, including all interiors. Here are some more screenshots:

Assembly room (main house reception room):

Library (directly above assembly room):

Casa Del Monte sitting room (sitting room in the smallest guest house):

I hope to be able to post more updates in the near future. However the is the largest and most challenging build I have ever done. Please accept my thanks for reading until the end of this post, I realize it's a long one :) . Stay safe everyone.

Interesting to see you moving away from ship building again. It looks great.

I scrapped my old marina project. It was feeling too small and unrealistic, so I started work on a new one. This will be a long-term project. I even did some new yachts just for this map!

Here are some yachts projects that were never completed for one reason or another. I'm starting college next week, so I'll probably have very little time for minecraft. I'll probably post my marina project as a final project for the summer.

If anyone wants to complete any of these on their own, then PM me.

I decided to put a little more time into the screenshot with this one. Do you guys think the effort is worth it? Or are normal screenshots (like the one below) preferable? The interior isn't yet finished, so it'll be a little while before it's released.

Just thought this shot looked kinda cool. It's the sun behind a lighthouse (part of my marina project).

wow, I imagine, if the minecraft was of this quality it would be very good but unfortunately we have the low quality

My latest project:

This is a yacht marina I built to showcase my yacht projects. It also acts as a sandbox for building (hence the junk in the background). This is a WIP project (so I don't know when/if I'll finish this one).

Here's a sneak peek of my latest yacht. The window placement on the bottom deck still needs work, and furniture is needed on interior and exterior decks.

The design of this one is a little more modern than what I usually build, so please tell me if it looks awful.

A preview of what I've been working on lately: (colonial mansion)

This should be done in a week or so, as I haven't yet furnished it or completed the landscaping.

Does everyone agree that this thing needs some major work?:

This is my most viewed and downloaded yacht project (also my first attempt at any ship in minecraft). I'm thinking of making it my next project to overhaul this and make it look more aesthetically pleasing. Thoughts?

Here's a preview of my next project:

I'll post this with a download when the interior's done. I changed my building style slightly for this one, adding a dedicated ceiling layer for each deck. This allows me to make much more detailed interiors, however the yacht does appear a bit portly on the outside.

I am still accepting suggestions for possible ideas, changes, and improvements (as well as the name). Best wishes to everyone in 2018!

I haven't posted much recently. These are some of the things I've been working on, but haven't finished (and probably won't). The top one was my attempt at a larger scale for houses. The middle one is the facade and front courtyard of Casa Grande at Hearst Castle. The bottom one is a modern desert house. The only thing keeping these projects from being finished is my ineptness at building interiors :P

Wow. that is not surprising its taking me forever!

Rattyguy replied to Marcoconuts's comment below 2019-08-20 22:25:58

Thanks for your comment :) I gave up on that build a while ago due to it taking way too much time and being too complex. If I can find the level with the build, I'll upload it. I'll have to look though.

Marcoconuts said 2019-08-15 02:43:57

Hey Mr. Rattguy,

I'm new to this website but I had to make an account to tell you how awesome that Hearst Castle is. I wanted to build something similar and I eventually gave up and looked online to get inspiration from other people and your rendition of the castle is absolutely gorgeous. Keep up the good work and I will be using your image of the castle as a template for my own build! Thank you!

Best Regards,
Marcoconuts

Do you guys think I should build Hearst Castle in minecraft? Is that too ambitious?

Hmm... Depends. How detailed are you willing to get?

Just a tiny yacht I created that doesn't really deserve its own submission.

Most yachts built in minecraft are over 80 blocks in length, while this one is only 23 blocks. Not small by real-life standards, but it balances out the huge ones.

I've been working on the interior of my latest yacht, but I'm having trouble thinking of what to put in the rooms. The largest of which is this one:

Any ideas for what to put in it?

Yeah, maybe like the bar on the GTA Online yachts.

Rattyguy replied to TotallyNotMe's comment below 2017-05-27 14:39:25

That's an idea. The window above would have to be pretty small though.

TotallyNotMe said 2017-05-27 03:51:34

Small restaurant or cafe with a rooftop window?

Rattyguy replied to Anakiiin's comment below 2017-05-26 23:17:22

That room is in the very front, so the roof is above it, unfortunately. It would be cool to have a two-story ballroom.

Go to your profile page, click "+ widget", then add the "wall posts" one. It's pretty simple from there. At least until you want to post a picture :)
