Some pics of the tower

As some of you know I am working on a display game for Triples 2014, which is totally 80's in terms of lead and styling.

Here's a few pics of the tower that I built and the missus painted yesterday.

That looks pretty good.

Cheers. That's just the basic shell. I've got to add a lot of detail to the exterior yet

I really LOVE that piece. In addition to being a well crafted, highly imaginative piece, there are elements to the Beasty, like the barred door opening on to the platform with it's attached chain, that add a touch of mystery with excellent story telling possibilities. WONDERFULLY WELL DONE!

Great work with loads of character!

Thanks chaps.

I'm adding a couple of support stanchions at the base, log pile, window boxes. washing line, some fungal growths, weather vane and lightning conductor.

A windsock may be added to the wyvern platform.

After 31 years in the hobby, it's my first self-build so it's still fairly basic.

The windows tell a story.

If you look at the base there are wooden slits and the idea that horses (or something worse) could be stabled there. The mid windows hint at a blazing fireplace within, whilst the green glow from the garret indicate 'something not quite right in the attic'

My Idea was that it started as a large single story and was built upon as successive occupants took residence. The very uneven rendering tells a tale of assaults upon the tower over the decades. The bay windows were a gift from a grateful local 'nob' for service rendered. And so it goes on.

It's based on the kind of thing that you'd see on games in my youth and has been undertaken in that spirit given it's end use on the Project Partha game.

Kudos to my wife for painting it in a day.

The paint job has far more depth but my photography sucks.

Nice work, both of you.  I quite like it.

Very well done.
Like the platform, will be interested what ends up being chained there.
