Looking very good! What do you use to fill the gaps in the wooden construction in the upper flor?

Polyblend Sanded Ceramic Tile Caulk - in Bone, layered onto some 3mm MDF. It may have been a mistake; it takes forever to set up; contains silicone so may not be paintable.

We shall see...

Good progress on the build - as far as the caulk is concerned, I’d suggest a quick test piece (ie separate from your actual build) so you can try some paint on it....less painful if you test it now rather than wait until your build is finished

Good news! The test patch worked out fine.  :)

In other news... I added some narrow windows/arrow slots to the bottom floor:

I Also did most of the wood flooring on the second floor and added the end walls:


I also made one of the shooting walkways:
 
I managed to get the exterior flag stones all laid out as well.

I don't expect to get much done over the next week as I will be preparing for an ECW game on Sunday. :D

Simply wonderful! 8)

What did you use for the wattle in between your daub? Some sort of plaster gauze?

It looks to be quite a big building, with plenty of playable options. Come to think of it; some skirmish games come to mind which could be played on/around this piece alone!
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

It is drywall repair mesh (link), which I trimmed to make it a look a bit more like wattle. Yes, it is a bit large; the base is about 25cm by 40cm. Too big really- not sure what I was thinking... ::)

Looks awesome, well done.

I'm starting to get a bit nervous about getting this thing painted on time :-I but the bulk of the bottom floor is done- I just have to add a few easy details and add finer debris, which will go quickly.

Not entirely thrilled with the archway; it's is too wide for it's height and the stone facing is too big.  It looks a bit like playmobile  ::):

 
I am very happy with the stone staircase at the rear though. The door way I have is a little large but given this is for Mordheim, acceptable:


I have only a couple of small wall sections to finish off on the second floor, most it will be missing:


This end hasn't changed much since last update but I added a little more wood debris and fallen stone:


Over the week I expect to get the upper floor finished, a start on the roof (most of it will be missing too so shouldn't be too time consuming) and have it ready for primer by this time next week. two weeks to paint it shouldn't be problem...right?
