Thanks all.  :)

One thing I forgot to mention is that the interiors of the towers will be playable. The top of each tower is actually a cap that  lifts off to reveal the room beneath, that itself then lifts out to reveal the room beneath that. The basement of each tower is actually inaccessible for gaming, as it’s just too far down to be practical. The walls of the towers also have to be accepted as something of a pretence as they have to be thinner than they ‘should’ be to allow access for a 1:1 hand.




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

My kids are adults Matt so the only ferrying I tend to do these days is airport runs.  ;)  :D

Wonderful, Steve. It feels like standing somewhere in Britain in the 12th century.

Thanks chaps  :)

Not much change, just some adjustments to the crenellations, scoring of brick lines and generally tidying up.



Next step will be to cut and fit the window/door frames and arrow slits, then render.

I’m not sure what to render with .... maybe a powder filler mixed with paint and glue.

It’s going to be spectacular  :)

Can I just check? If one of my men is standing right against the foot of the wall, underneath the overhanging ramparts, can a crossbowman lean out over the protruding crenellations and shoot him? ;)

 lol

Thanks chaps  :). Just waiting on materials for the arrow slits then the next stage can begin  ;)

Can I just check? If one of my men is standing right against the foot of the wall, underneath the overhanging ramparts, can a crossbowman lean out over the protruding crenellations and shoot him? ;)

Hmm. I think I might  have to develop some Guidelines In Lieu Extreme Shooting.

Is the embrasure wide enough to push the crossbow through without tipping and losing the bolt?

As the crossbowman leans out and round the crenellations does he lose his balance and fall?

If he falls is he injured?

If he falls does he land on the man below?

If he lands on the man below is that man injured?

If he lands within 1” of the man below does the proximity rule come into play and is there an immediate  Close Combat?

If there is an immediate Close Combat is there a negative surprise effect on the man who falls, the man below, or both?

If he doesn’t fall and gets the shot off would there be any detriment to accuracy?

So many considerations.......

...... I think I’ll just say no.   :D ;)

I suppose it can only happen if you can balance the the figure in position  :D

Don’t worry Steve on working out the variables. I’ ll just shoot Richard in the back from ground level. It’ll be so much easier and infinitely more satisfying. ;) :D
