When it was finally all painted, I was so excited I had to take photos of this little diorama. The view from Kings Tower, as a unit of Knights of the Realm hasten to do battle with a small rabble of rather brave Goblins!
A Good view of the Trebuchet Platform, with supporting ramparts on either side. Spikes have been added. And now I just need some Elf heads, or skulls to glue to them!
A good view of the north face, clearly showing the two separate modules that will remain independent. The reasons how and why they were is to be honest quite accidental, but all due to the evolutionary process I mentioned earlier. In hindsight, it’s actually a very good idea that it is, as I’ve got to try and paint this beast whenever I finally decide to stop building it!
With so much attention and revamping on the main gate and towers, I turned the model around and thought…”This isn’t going to do” and so started changing this. Again a new addition upon finding an old cannon in a box of bits, I thought… “Well why not?”
Crafted an old blocked up, Portcullis. All buildings tell a story, and none so much as Castles. I wanted to add age, so by looking at the Castle you can clearly see that it’s been modified, over the centuries of war and fighting.
