Update on the castle, now that the build stage is complete. The latest additions still need undercoating and then it’ll be on to painting and finally detailing. Hopefully my motivation can be sustained  :o :).





































The Baron in his private apartment:



Example of a second floor chamber:



Example of a first floor chamber:









The main gates (and the sally port and great hall doors) pop out for when they are required to be open; the portcullis and drawbridge are held by magnets:



Before I progress painting the castle, I’ve another handful of foot minis to finish.
My LAF Gallery is HERE
Minis (foot & mounted) finished in 2024 = 32
(2023 = 151; 2022 = 204; 2021 = 123; 2020 = ???)

 :o You've done an absolutely fantastic job with this build!

Silly question, but how have you done the second floor insert? Is it a smaller tube that slots in place?

Thanks and not at all a silly question.

As I wanted accessible rooms on at least two levels of each of the towers, I decided to use a capped cylinder for a removable second floor:

From Hobbycraft:



The main body was cut down to the height required for the room, while the lid became the basis of the tower turret. The foamboard cylinders were obviously sized to fit the hobbycraft product.



Hope that helps  :)
