As many of you know, I'm slowly re-creating this beautiful gem of a palace in SecondLife and I thoughtit was about time thatI dedicated a blog page to summarize my adventures during this journey.
Please see Petit Trianon .
Thanks!!

Thanks Eleanore!
Looking back over my Project Timeline I see that I've actually done more tearing down than building up. There is always so much to learn when you are building in SL!!
I'm lucky that I have the opportunity to keep working on this without thepressure to complete it

Thank you for showing us this, Tat. You know how much I love the Petit Trianon, the real one AND yours, I think most really lovely long-term projects in SL involve a great deal of refinement (read: tearing down and rebuilding!), but think of how many tools and techniques have been introduced and discovered since you began, and how much your own remarkable gifts have grown. Good thing I'm not pressuring you to move in.

You are most welcome, Constance. Thank you for following along all of these years!!
As we've discussed before, the introduction of mesh, convex hull & larger prims made a huge difference for projects like this. One of the reasons I slowed down (back in 2010) was the number of prims that were being consumed. I despaired thinking that I would run out of prim allowance and never be able to actually furnish the place. I would imagine that Versailles was in a similar situation. Sad thought especially after all the work involved.
I was truly overjoyed to rip out all of those (sometimes ill-fitting) mega-prims and start again!
As far as moving in goes, you know that there's always a spot reserved for you. Now if I could only get a roof on so you don't have to keep staring at the stars
