Jimbibbly's entry :-) * Large paint update... 14.12.13 *

Well, it's not going to happen  but...

I've had a few more ideas for it  One being another smaller tower on the very top with a ladder to get to it and some sort of access into the main roof from the higher balcony   


My favorite area so far but I've run out of tiles 


Spiral staircase going down, down, down...


Rough idea for the ladder


The whole tower from one angle (bearing in mind there is still a roof to go on the top  )


And from another angle, I think the previous one is the better view.

I think I'm going to buy one of the GW plastic buildings and pinch the windows out of it as I quite like them (and several of the kits already that have been mangled into something new).

I'm actually really looking forward to painting this one 

cheers

Wow!

You know, Zvezda make a castle and they sell the windows and doors separately, too. They don't quite fit into the same style as the GW ones but it might be worth a look!

I am glad you're going to finishe it because it looks spectacular and I look forward to seeing the finished piece

[YPU]

Do I spot a "textured shit"  box in your room there?

[Christian]

Hey there's a flying boat in the photos too!

[alone_withmyaxe]

Oh no a wizards tower!

I just read you post, and I was planning a wizards tower, the trouble is... yours is looking awesome!

I will have to settle with a wizards hovel!

[Silent Invader]

  That is looking awesome........ 

[Malamute]

You know size isn't everything.....

Its inspired lunacy adding  he extra tower, I wouldn't fancy the climb up the exposed staircase and then finally the ladder. Can't wait to see it in the flesh

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks for the encouragement chaps    

Do I spot a "textured shit"  box in your room there?

Yes you do, I also have 'Vaneer shit' 'Card shit' 'Foamcore shit' 'Odd shit' and 'Plain shit' boxes to go with it    

I had a quick shufty at the Zvezda windows but I'm going with the GW ones  

You know size isn't everything.....

Oh I don't know  

cheers

That is truly insane!   

I love it!

[gamer Mac]

It got bigger again
Looking great

[OSHIROmodels]

Have done some more work on it this evening. The main roof is just about done, only details to add to it and then to carry on with the upper floors.

I've decided to get rid of the wooden spiral staircase as it wasn't going to fit well with the roof so there'll just be  a balcony with tellyscoops on it instead 







cheers

Another case of illegal building extensions. When your local council sees that, they'll have puppies.

[Christian]

Ha ha! Go Jim, go! That's a really stunning bit of scenery. I hope we'll be seeing at least one dragon flying past it... (that's what I imagine anyway).

[Ray Rivers]

Good God Jim, your workshop is a disaster... 

But the tower looks jolly good!
