I like the North wall, very evocative

Are you going to keep the limestone/granite colour the same as the original?

cheers

Definitely sandstone/lime stone. It is quite easy to make sand stone believable as it is in the real world very susceptible to weather and pollution.

Have a floor plan laid out you can post? To tantalize us with as you progress?

No I don't as I expect this beast to grow organically. But I can probably put something together of what I think of as initial composition..

I love watching these build threads and this one looks like it should be a good one!

Dammit Hammers, thanks for setting the bar so high

Excellent work so far!

looks great

only thing that looks wrong to me is that your windows need lintels.

Splendid work so far! A really a good idea to use the zvezda castle as a starting point...waiting eagerly for the next steps...

There is a small lintel molded to the window. Perhaps it is not quite visible in the piccy.

I've seen the Zvezda stuff about but because it was 1/72 never really gave it a second thought. With what I've seen so far this looks like it is going to be excellent!
Looking forward to seeing how this goes.

in that case i think your windows may be upside down?

The overall work is great - that little detail is drawing my eye though

Interesting project and a flying start. Looking forward to this one too.

I've seen the Zvezda castles but never the component bits, they look very promising. Zvezda btw make what are probably the best soft plastic 1/72 minis available.

I really like what you have started so far - and the building being used for inspiration is just smashing. I look forward to seeing this build progress.

Good choice of building - I was a student at the University of Edinburgh for five years, and St Leonard's was by far the nicest student hall of residence (you can just see in the original photo the ugly monstrosities that made up the rest of the Pollock Halls site).

Oh, and I've just added Zvezda to my bookmarks after seeing the great start to your project. Well done, sir!

I am quite sure they are not. The inner frame slides down on these windows and they are loose pieces.
