Alde Garde: An early medieval tower/keep/donjon in 28mm-part 2

[duc de limbourg]

I have build in balsa wood and polystereen based on plastic sheet a kind of early medieval tower which probably will be part of a kind of motte and bailey castle someday.
I had totally no experience in building model so it was a trial and error proces but I think it came out reasonably well.
Some more info on our blog, aldegarde.blogspot.com
The second picture shows an unpainted Norman figure just for scale

First effort? That surprises me, this is really good.

Don't let this be a probably.
It's a great start that deserves finishing, even if not straight away, it's already inspiring to those of us with no experience in this corner of the hobby.

There are the remnants of an 11thC motte and bailey near me, it's nice to have something like this to look at and imagine.

I'll add one to what has already been said.

There is (the Motte at least) near to me, in the
village of Brinklow (near Coventry) behind the
Church.  Your building would scale in well with
the Motte. It would have been difficult to storm,
hard enough to climb now-a-days without any one
lobbing things at you.

That looks fantastic.  Very nice job

Thanks for all the kind words, much appreciated.
I forgot to mention that I did not know in the beginning how we would use the model; just as background or for skirmishing. So I made the tower in pieces with separate roof, floors (3) and detachable walls.
You can see this in the two pictures

Well, that just adds a few more layers of awesomeness on a building that already looked great! Hard to believe this is your first time constructing buildings for gaming. Great job!

Splendid job on your tower,even better as it's modular and a first go!

Fantastic work even for somebody experienced with scratch building. You have every right to be proud.
