For all this time I had no idea what to do with the tops of the tower! So as all great artists do, I procrastinated until I found an idea that grabbed me. I got inspiration from a Warhammer tower (below) I saw and instantly started work on what I thought would be a satisfactory solution. These pictures here show you how the double tapering roofs where constructed. Reminecent of medieval French roofs using one tall thin cone, and a ring of small triangles. Was glued and held in places and when dry was covered in plaster. Then sanded down and painted.

The end result though is quite neat. Its solid too, so even if it does get knocked in transit, (which it will) I’m glad to say that it’s not going anywhere. To finish: cut several hundred hand cut card tiles and glue them on individually! Joy! I love making more work for myself!
