As said earlier, the early medieval tower needed some outworks so i made a small motte on which the tower can be put and after that added a small bailey. Just simple without fancy stuff; a selfmade wattle fence out of cocktail prickers and woven string, a small drawbridge as entrance to the bailey (but this could be manhandeld) and the rest was just sanding, painting and grassing.
The total is a reasonable representation i think.
The first picture the whole castle, the second a close up
So now to making up some buildings; have to figure out how to do it. But that will be part 3
