Hmmm. Got mine out of the box, had a good look, couldn't make head nor tail of it, then put it back in the box again  lol
Maybe I will ask you to build and titivate mine for me as well.  :D
I like the sound of a 'holdfast'. Much sexier than a mere common-or-garden tower.
And I like the idea of some timber stairs and structures around it too.... And possibly on top of it...  ::)

One is certainly hearing mixed reviews about this kit. I will most probably end up getting one as it seems to be a perfect fit with my incomplete neogothic mansion.

Interesting and fast.  8)

I can't deny I was tempted but decided the 'Gothic' look wasn't quite what I was after.

More than anything else I'm interested in how people are going to convert them, so very much looking forward to seeing more of your interpretation, James.  :D

A good start, but I think it's strange that the carving above the door reads "auspicious cannelloni".

 lol It won't do for long, I'm going to fill it in.

Completed three Karstark light horse today as well. Mainly Perrys but with some Conquest Games, GB and a bit of Frostgrave thrown into the mix. Got the cloaks and pelts to sculpt but I'm going to bed as I'm still knackered from yesterday  lol



cheers

I've finished the base for the tower and have made a very brief start on the upper wood work. I've gone for the same style of rockage as Dorset because it's getting easier and it works.

The colour is slightly different as it will be a type of sandstone which should become apparent when painted.

Still got he wooden stair to do as well and I'll probably have a look at that tomorrow.



cheers

(Another) Cracking thread Jim!  :-*

You make that tower look like a very useful piece of terrain mate.

Thanks chaps  :)

I think it certainly is but it does need more work than I first thought. It's also quite distinctive and not easy to disguise without a lot more work. MAybe that was part of Renedras intention  ???

I'm just inking it at the moment and then I'll be drybrushing it up to various sandstone tones.

cheers

I like it.
Waiting to see what you do with it regarding timberworks / hoardings / stairs etc, before deciding whether to pay you to do mine, or attempt it myself!  :o
