Pulp Castle

[gamer Mac]

My brother is running a pulp campaign with the final objective inside a castle. One of the games is going to be getting into the castle. We needed a façade for a castle. The game is due to be played in a couple of weeks so I have had to abandon my other projects and knock this together. In between painting for the LPL.

Basic layout



I have almost completed the main building. Which is going to sit behind the castle wall above a small gorge.

 

Main building



Close up of the windows and door



It is my intension to have a small bridge and gate house at one end and firing platform at the other. The gate house I think wants to be higher than the main building but I am not sure about the firing platform. Anybody got any ideas or suggestions. I don’t want to build a big tower but maybe something with some gaming room for figures.
I am also looking for some ideas for the bridge and the main gate.

A Google image search for "Hohenwerfen" (Where the film was made) will be alot of help:



I visited here around 20 years ago. Fantastic place.

Thanks interesting stuff. Some good ideas there.
Spoilt my view of the place though, “no cable car”

No, its a rather invigorating walk to the top.
Probably not as invigorating as hanging off the roof of a cable car though!

I can't believe Grimm hasn't built one of these yet...

Not to mention the thought of Ingrid Pitt and Mary Ure as well...

I have managed to do some more work to my castle. Still got to finishing painting some of the pieces but I thought I would show you my progress.

New gatehouse with bridge. Main gate to finish



Rampart – still to paint



The complete castle to date

Very Cool. I really like how it's coming along. The colored shutters are great for breaking up the long fields of gray.

[gamer Mac]

Running out of time so this is going to be the final set up of the castle front. I was going to add something on the left.

I may go back at a later date and add some more bits.
A small bit of painting to complete the model.

That's really nice. It makes a good back drop for a game or an objective to reach.
