Wow what a great thread! Some amazing work

[Nord]

Wow, this just gets better and better. The castle tutorial is excellent.

[KorNat]

Thank you all guys. I am currently working on another part of the tutorial that will cover my approach to creating doors from balsa wood and plasticard. Here you can see a spoiler:)

[KorNat]

Before I manage to finished the entry about doors I prepared another entry that shows my progress with castle structure. This time I have described how I build square tower. I invite you all to comment. I you have any tips, tricks or ideas I could use I would be glad to read these.

Nice work on texturing and detailing, all the little strange additions to the castle make it seem very real.

I like the DAS stone filling/fixing too. 
I imagine it will paint up exactly the same, but have you tested this out just to make sure?

Cheers

Beautiful. That looks like a very solid fortress taking shape

You encouraged me to made some tests Matt. Have a look at the results on my blog http://pinatwar.blogspot.com/2016/03/bricks.html
or simply here below. I am not sure if I stick to one of these painting schemes when I will be painting the castle. Right now I am thinking that bricks should be brighter on the final model and I also think that the idea of cracks being filled with plaster looks quite nice.

What do you think guys?

[Atheling]

If I had a preference I'd go for the second lot- looks more like silicate rock than the others 

Of course, most of these tower/castle walls would have been rendered in their day.

This thread is filled with beautiful miniatures and terrain. Very lush.

[Constable Bertrand]

Glad to help!  Or just to be a general pest 

I like the plaster mortar, the effect turns out really well. And the grey looks quite good 

Cheers

I like the panel on the far right.

[dbsubashi]

The far right one is the bestest. I like the variation in the stones and the mortar effect. Perhaps the mixed stone work/mortar with the tan color stones? (Too much gray rocks in gaming scenery!)

[Andym]

I like the first one on the left. I think if you go with the one on the right, while its nice on a small scale, it might look too bland when over a bigger piece. I think the whiter mortar of the one of the left, breaks it up a bit.

Another great painting and modelling thread! 

May I ask, how do you do your photos with the black backdrop? I always get very poor results when using a dark background (the minis themselves seem to get 'over-exposed'/too hard lit).
