Looking great, but you really should change the blade on your craft knife. ;)

Thanks folks  :)

Lol. Believe it or not,  it’s mostly deliberate.  :D I have this theory that a rough edge (where the foam tears a bit) will provide a better key for the glue and plaster that’s going on top. I’m also a bit cautious of everything being too ‘sharply  precise’ rather than looking a tad weather worn.

You are right about things looking too neat. Some (especially MDF) model buildings look
like they have been starched & ironed. I prefer 'crumbly' as I also think it more believable,
especially on buildings that have been around for a while.

Blagged   lol

I’ve now worked through 3 x A2 and 2 x A1 sheets of 5mm foamboard, the basic structure of the castle is complete. There still some tidying up to do when the glue has dried (eg, the various tower battlements) but the overall shape is now ‘there’.







After tidying the battlements I’ll be adding the windows and doors.

Very jealous mate.

Just trying to work out what I’ve done while you’ve built this model, and I reckon I’ve spent most of the time ferrying my kids back and forth  lol
