This is my second attempt at a build thread, the third installment of a series of six to be converted from a much smaller scale.
I recently assembled the 1:160 scale conversion of the Rhett House Inn located in Beaufort, South Carolina, it has a storied past as well as a very distinguished guest list.
Built in 1820 by Thomas Smith Rhett, the antebellum, "in town plantation house" was commandeered and served as a recovery hospital for union forces during the American Civil war, it reflects to a degree, Greek revival architecture.
An ajacent, two story cottage housing seven additional rooms was built in 1846 and once served as a store for freed slaves.
The Inn also features an on property guest cottage, the "Newcastle House".
The tag line goes something like this:
An exceptional experience is the antebellum home (ca. 1820) of Thomas Smith Rhett, whose family inspired Rhett Butler in Margaret Mitchell’s Novel, "Gone With The Wind".
It still inspires today, a perfect romantic getaway in the Historic District just steps from waterfront shops and dining.
Please visit the website for more information on the Area and Inn.
The Greek revival Architecture of this Mansion, with it’s double veranda, captures cool breezes through the shade of live oaks with piazza one block from the Beaufort River.
With Gourmet Kitchen and raised Herb Garden, The Premium Newcastle House is unsurpassed In Beaufort, designed with Privacy and Luxury in mind, a short stroll to the Main Rhett House.
The Inn's guest list includes those such as Barbra Streisand, Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Ben Affleck, Gwyneth Paltrow and Matt Damon to name a few.
I am far better at drawing these than I am at actually assembling them, having all thumbs, I'm sure many of the members of this forum have expert skills and could do a much better build.
With that being said, let me start this thread by posting the Inn's footprint and some random part samples.
An auto correct application was used for the photographs so parts may appear darker than they really are and having more photographs than I know what to do with, this promises to be a lenghty thread.
Okay, let's get this thing started!
