Paul, that is really very nice indeed. I would dearly like to put my forces on there!
All very 'By the sword divided'. Excellent.

And the judicious use of teddy bear fur is growing on me.  ;)

Dear me, did I just say 'teddy bear fur is growing on me'?  lol

Paul,

you're obviously barking mad to have conceived such a project, but what a model  :o :-*

The attention to detail is what really distinguishes it.  Well done, Sir!

I like the use of Teddy Bear fur [I believe that's what it is] for the long grass - what did you use to colour it?

Many Thanks guys.

I tried various ways to colour it but in the end the best way is using an airbrush with acrylic paint. I used some cheap art shop acrylics heavily watered down.

Be prepared to spray it a few times to get the colour you want.

Hi Paul,

Truly excellent work.

The blending of your castle into the manner is very smooth.

Shabbat Shalom,
