Thanks for the encouragement chaps. It's not particularly heavy (though might get that way!) and I'll be filling in gaps with GS stones as and when I do the sculpting to the Boltons.

 lol. At the moment it weighs ... Actually, I'll get to that in a minute

Stonework with real stones is now done. I still need to make some mods with GS and sculpt on ivy etc.

A bit difficult to see what's what in the raw, so hopefully the detail will stand out when it's, er, detailed. Overview:



The entrance into the tower:



What's left of the stairs up to what was the first floor:



What's left of the window openings:



Another angle:



And with areas of footfall plastered over for dirt (I've also dirtied up to waist height inside the tower). I used dry wall plaster, onto a  coat of pva - might work or it might all fall off!



This needs to wait a couple of days to dry, then it'll get the GS treatment.

Now that the Boltons have a miserable and squalid home in the offing, I can get back to sculpting the conversions  :D

Oh, and weight at the mo with its full complement of slate and WET plaster is 1730g

Thanks James and Mark - all will be much clearer when eventually it gets paint on it.

Nice one Steve!  8)  8) only 2K!

It will be interesting to see what happens to the plaster. Perhaps a very very very liberal coating of white glue once its dried will act as a flexible membrane and keep it all in, and allow sand to be added.

I thought a silicone may have been good to gap fill and hold its place without flaking off, but then you have the trouble of trying to stick anything to it. :(

Cheers
Matt

ps. if you dont want that boer board... ;)
Pitty shipping would be astronomical, I may have to visit england on a holiday with extra suitcases lol
