In this photo and the one below you will be able to see a few "slight" changes to the outside. Firstly the gatehouse round tower has been taken down a touch, to stop it apperaing too tall. Heraldry has been added to the facade of the Gatehouse. My obsession with Geroge RR Martins work stands out here as I quite liked the Starks I decided to both combine the wolf sigil with a pair of anthlers as seen in the gatehouse closeup.
Right here is the now opened up courtyard, I removed the overhanging platform and moved it to the rear. I wanted to be able to see inside the courtyard, and really make it a bit more "Grand". A door now leads into the great hall from the wall, and you can make out archways, and chimney which are planned to be built latter. A coat of arms will be added to the main tower doorwar, and decorative "stonework" above the two arched windows. Any ideas please comment.
In this photo you will firstly see that all the ramparts have been extended to fit two rows of defenders quite comfortably. Will make playing games by far easier if you can rank everybody up evenly.
I wasn't happy (yet again) with the back of the building and so as you can probably see I moved bits around and what not, added a new tower which is still under development. In my oppinion by far better!
Below is another little project I started alongside the Castle. Made entirely from sprues, all chopped and aged to maake look like planks of wood! Add a very basic wash of paint, and the useless boy from the trebuchet model and there you have it! My very own broken wagon.
...More to follow! Thanks for all your interest please comment.
