-BUILDING BLOCKS- Celt Helm Castle Construction

Hello Crafty Miners! Not too long ago, SammyMacman was looking through some of his old pictures and found several from the construction of Celt Helm Castle. I thought they were pretty cool so I decided to share them with all of you in this first in a series of posts titled 'Building Blocks'. The series will focus on the behind the scenes look at some of the major construction projects in the World of RAAR. There are quite a few showing the various stages of completion and the extent of the scaffolding which gives a deeper perspective at how these builds are accomplished.

Hope you enjoy this inside look at one the largest builds in the World of RAAR. If you'd like to see the finished project click here or you can go to our YouTube channel and watch the walkthrough tour.

Thanks again for supporting the blog and channel. We appreciate your likes and comments. Keep it up! We will have more builds and videos coming your way. Until we meet again, Happy Crafting!

-SPOTLIGHT- Roman Bath House

Hello Crafty Miners! Welcome back to another edition of Spotlight. This week we travel back to the lands of Roundhead and explore the ruins of a Roman-style bath house. So let's get to it!

The Bath House was the first structure ever built in the World of RAAR when the age of survival ended and the age of creative began. Built around a natural spring of water, the two-storey structure was constructed using stone bricks, netherrack stairs and smooth sandstone blocks.

The structure was modeled after a Roman style where the roof has been left open in the center to allow an open air pool. Local wildlife enjoyed the pool especially choosing to take a dip in it often. A gate needed to be installed to prevent future animal pool parties, though a sheep and pig constantly lie in wait for the opportunity to sneak in for a dip.
