As a wee break from doing my SHIVA board, I've got a bit of castle wall to build for Mutineer Miniatures.

They already have a few wall sections based on the Red Fort in Delhi and I've got to make a gate house using that as inspiration.

I couldn't think how to go about it. The only way I can think of doing it is in Blue Foam. I've given it a lot more texture than the real thing so that it'll paint up easier than a direct copy. I'm going to make it in two bits, this bit and a top walkway that'll sit on top of this...

Definitely going to be watching this with interest, your projects are always a treat and something like this could really dress up my tableful of "generic tropical buildings" for pulp and Interwar NWF goodness!

Must ask...do you draw up templates in card before cutting e foam?

Looks fabulous!

No Eric. I just use my trusty pencil and ruler and slightly mark the foam. The hardest part is cutting 'straight' down, but I use a big 'snap off' style Stanley blade and that helps.

Cheers gents!

Watching with interest, as Wirelizard put it:

You make everything look so easy! But that is an enormous amount of talent and hard work! I'm totally impressed.
