Medieval Tower , my new build.

[Pr.Merlin]

Hi Sue, that's quite a mixture of stone brick sizes. Where do you buy your masonry materials, or are they a part of the kit?

It's going to be an awesome tower! :smiling4:

Hi Paul. Thank you. The medieval tower is a kit, the ceramic bricks are included / part of the kit. I am not a brick layer so this is new to me lol. Something different though..... Sue.

Oh I see, I thought perhaps that might be the case, and 'different' is wonderful. You'll be just dandy laying those bricks, but like Rome - it wasn't built in a day.

I've been looking at various suppliers online for bricks, stone floors, lighting etc and I've stumbled across 'Stacey's Miniature Masonry'. I didn't know these suppliers existed - they look great, and I'm very excited. I was considering making my own bricks. I shall probably make the roofing tiles out of some oak construction veneer I've had for a few years. Anyway, it's all good stuff and here's to some Medieval/Tudor building work. :smiling:

Hi Sue
It is a very different kind of model. Glad you're going to keep at it. It's just solving a new set of problems.

Hi Chris. I thought I would start with the house as it has to be bricked up then put in place next to other buildings. I'm putting the bricks on the walls then sanding them down after. I will brick the tower next. A spooky tower it will soon be. Then back to the figures for the manger. I will look online for ivy..... Spooky. Sue

Hi Sue,

Excellent. It's good to see progress, and might I say - looking very dandy too! I love history and medieval buildings and there's a real medieval feel about this. Top banana!

Are you creating a scenery as well, with people etc?

Happy building.... :smiling4: :thumb2:

[Mini Me]

Nice work Sue.......if you are going for the "Spooky" Tower look there must be Bats in the Belfry..........can't do Spooky without them! LOL Rick H.

Hi Paul. Thank you it's coming along. Oh yes I will add a scenery to it, people, plants trees etc. A medieval tower tourist attraction theme. Um I've got me thinking there now Paul.
