And there you have it. Bought three Pringles tubes already :)

Guy,
I just glanced at your title at first and read wizard's tower, and we all know how that turned out lol Anyway, I am looking forward to how this turns out. I really have no concept of what you are building but I am sure that I will enjoy the ride.

He’s going to be sidetracked by Boba anyway ;)

Won't we all... :D

I always associate your terrain with the lush, green, spooky forest and swamp stuff you've shown us in the past, so a not-Jedi hangout seems like a fascinating change of pace!
Looking forward to seeing this progress.
-
Thanks man, a Dagobah setting is tempting…Perhaps a bit of both :)
-
Boba-Pringle ??? ??? ???
Looking forward to the result.

Way ahead of me then lol

Half way done already! lol
-
Half way done already! lol
Nah! He hasn't eaten the Pringles yet :D
-
lol And they’re bloody awful.
Did some pics yesterday,I rather like the idea of the hermitage sitting on an outcrop,rising above a jungle or something. I have been looking at too much 70s fantasy art…
-
lol And they’re bloody awful.
I love them but they give me a headache. o_o lol
-
Yep,I guess MSG ;D
-
If anyone is aware of the Hermit’s Castle in Scotland,that is my main inspiration. Sort of Brutalist meets Fae ;)
-
Is that the tiny concrete one?
-
That’s the one,on a larger scale though. And rather than the chimney,I’ll have a round tower…Hope it works lol
-
And so it begins:

Looks good. Who'd you feed the Pringles too?
-
Cheers.

Well, I've been in nicer looking hotels. lol lol lol

Google it,it’s fantastic!
-
A lot of work to go,trying for a monolithic look :)

Ok Guy how did that emerge from the incomprehensible clutter of the last photo?!? That build has some very good bones for you to work your usual magic.
-
lol It’s still a incomprehensible mess,a lot of sanding and dreaming to get through ;)
-
That was quick 8)
-
Ooo I do like that.
-
Wow...that was quick - you are a machine :o
-
Wow...that was quick - you are a machine :o
Haha,I have also retired (early) :D
-
That looks good! I like the way you can invitingly glimpse down the entrance passage - or will there be closed door once it is done?
-
I think I’ll leave it open (ie no door), I want a sort of Wayland’s Smithy look,the Celtic diaspora in spaaace! lol
-
A bit more...
(https://myalbum.com/photo/oT6pppt36dGv/540.jpg)
-
That is stunning!
-
This great & flying along too 8)
-
Good grief, that IS rather nice :o 8)
-
Thanks fellas :)
As usual I’ve made a lot of work for myself,most of it is trying not look rubbish,and inject realism into something fantastical.
-
Coming along nicely 8)
-
Wow! Incredible progress so far.
-
Lovely work. :-*
-
:o
I'm always amazed by how quick some people can work and produce great results...
This looks great already.
-
Thanks all :)
Update later today,applying pigments! So should be exciting ;D

Bring the powder Guy, bring the powder! lol

I have no idea? Cocaine,makeup or a pun on power?

Pigments are sold as powder over here.
I often see advertisements with people exposed to multi-coloured dust explosions and imagined you throwing bags of red, yellow and blue pigments onto the tower.
-
Ah yes,now I see. We get all the pigments here as powder, Ammo from Mig,AK et cetera . Surprisingly we seem to be able to get more painting supplies than is available in the UK /Europe and a fair few of them are from Spain/Italy!

I guess I’m about half way through the build; flora,fauna,a lightning rod,and any weird details I can think of. Hopefully these will hide the skewwhiff buildings ;D
-
FANTASTIC work on this Guy! :o
-
Thanks Todd :)
I’m not sure about the greenery yet,whether to go full fern or more moorland with scrubby trees…
-
Oooh. Tough call. :?
-
Wow, the weathering on the buildings looks amazing. And yes, foilage is a tough call. I'd personally go semi-arid with a few sparse trees and bushes
-
I would be really happy if my finished stuff looked like your half-way builds lol
Can't wait to see the end result.
-
Looks great, very atmospheric.
-
Wow, really amazing already :-* The render on the walls and the ground work already look fantastic at this stage.
-
Thanks man :)
I hope I can create what I’m seeing in my head ;D Had my booster yesterday and feeling pretty ordinary,so no dog(she’ll be V. disgruntled) walk or work on my ‘thing’ lol
-
Absolutely love it mate 8)
Trees always help :D
-
Hopefully these will hide the skewwhiff buildings ;D
The skewwhiff building has much appeal :D
-
Getting there:

Lovin' it 8)
-
Fantastic 8) 8)
-
Cheers fellas :)
Now it’s the difficult stuff ;D
-
Cracking...I like the addition of the lamp post.
-
Absolutely superb, it looks real! :-*
-
Cool stuff, Blackwolf.
-
Thanks all :)

Cheers,a bit of a thing for my builds.

Thanks mate, I do try for realism so for someone to comment is brilliant .
Cool stuff, Blackwolf.
And thank you fellow man from Oz :D
-
Excellent progress Guy! Another nice build.
-
And thank you our man from Guam :)
-
This is looking pretty impressive already. Especially for the dwelling of just the one hermit. Pretty obvious when you think about it though. I mean; those guys are really big on personal space, so a small castle to live in by themselves makes perfect sense.
And it's more stylish than a simple barrel next to the city walls of course :D
Plenty of room for butterflies too... :P
-
Haha. Strangely the hermitage is not dissimilar to where I worked.
-
A little more inspiration, the place I worked before retirement:

Looking forward to final pics of this one. Surfaces and forms are fantastic.

Looks like a possible submission for a future BSC. :D
-
Thanks,I hope I can get it looking the way I want :)

lol Maybe; I was there 18 years,it would be like going back to work. Extraordinary place to work (for all sorts of reasons).
