Ayrlego Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Corlander merchants, seeing the quality of the Myzec dyes produced from Poinsettia plants have helped the Myzec set up production on a larger scale for export to nearby Jameston and the outside world. The process is much the same as the traditional methods used in Myzec homes. The flowers are boiled down and the resulting liquid is syphoned and strained all while continuing to be reduced over heat. A thick and vibrant dye is then stored in sealed clay pots for export. Here the furnaces used are bigger, and four are utilised in a row to produce four different shades simultaneously. _____________ A continuation from my Poinsettia plantation inspired by Drunknok's ideas in the Merrynight thread. The build turned out a bit bigger than planned (48x32) so it doesn't meet the size restrictions for the Daily Life collaboration. I needed the room to get the four furnaces in, so I don't regret it! It will be licensed as a medium factory sometime in the future as with this being build 7 for BoBS for December, I wouldn't want to be accused of exceeding my license restrictions. Don't worry, there is a dry spell fast approaching as I won't be able to (physically) build from mid Jan until early June! Probably why I'm so active right now! Quote
Elostirion Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Beautiful one. Just really, really well executed, and displays the whole process perfectly. The relfections on the roof are a bit weird (rendering issue), maybe plates instead of tiles would have prevented this? The clay pots and the colours on the table are just cool. Wonderful. Quote
Bart Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 NIcely done! claypots is a very clever idea. Quote
Kai NRG Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Great to see the progression here. Excellent build and I wish that wheelbarrow wheel came in brown! Quote
Professor Thaum Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 A really great one ! Nice idea... the ovens seem to be a little bit too up to date for islanders but who cares. Quote
Captain Genaro Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Very nice build, Ayrlego. I'm enjoying this Myzectlan series immensely, and this build is no exception. The poinsettia plants are really well done, and your furnaces look great, too. Quote
Roadmonkeytj Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 I like how you have the sorting bins with loose flowers as well it's a really great build plenty to look at while not being overly complicated. I think a slight angle change would have reduced the glare on the roof. Quote
