Castle gate entrance

[Richi72]

Hi all,


I am taking a brake from the figure painting for my Market Garden Dio.


I need something where i can see progress, so i thought i start a castle, well only the entrance with a small stone bridge some water and a piece of road.


I am not building of a picture, its all in my imagination.


Made a drawing and started with a base of 50 mm styrofoam.


the materials i am using are styrofoam, depron and cork.


But here are some pictures and if there are question, comments, complaints, critics and compliments just give it to me.

[Richi72]

Thanks allot girl and guy's,


Polux i am not into knights but thats a good idea, will keep that in mind, i to had some thoughts about some figurines, like some snipers in the tower, searchlight, some guards on the bridge, some soldiers in relaxed poses on the other side of the gate maybe a car on the bridge or the road.


at the moment i am cutting cork for the walls get some pictures in tomorrow.


Thanks again for watching.


Cheers Richi

[monica]

will look forward to seeing the update,


what size are you doing your blocks at ,as it looks like a very large amount to cover all that, ?

[Richi72]

The blocks are 10 x 6 mm which would be 35 x 21 cm in real, got about 2000 now not sure if its enough


Cheers Richi
