Yes. For the foundation masonry. The rest is laid brick by brick. Makes for a more convincing ruin, is my theory

I am turning the faux history of this sept over in my head. I am thinking some Stormland lord built it out of penance and remorse. It would be fun to paint some murals on the inner walls. Which style though? Naive, medieval, romantic, prerafaelite?

Naive medieval would be my take on it...

It would likely be in an older 'style' than your current armies, so if you're using round headed windows for the architecture something based around C11 to C13 medieval frescoes/wall paintings should 'look' in keeping ;)

My mind goes to medieval also.

Where do the smaller bricks come from, and what are you using for mortar? (actual mortar?)

I thing the way is torture, the result is pleasure. Maybe Jimbibble(James) teached a new kind of "50 shades of grey" for toy soldier lovers/painters. It looks good so far.

It´s not so bad. I did the drawing one nigth and startet masonry and bricking the next. That bit is done. The bricks are from an italian company specializing in architectural models. They are of some clay or cellulose material. Not to scale, obviously, but what the hell.

Support beams are also finished. The difficult part is to fit the interior seven central pillars and the statues. Frescoes and shields of dead knights will be for simple pleasure if i get to it.

I think frescoes with visions of the Seven Hells would be nice. Plenty of material for inspiration there.

Like the brick variations, be interested in seeing how it turns out. For tapestries, look at the dolls-house carpets in a hobby store, or cloth bookmarks you can pick up in souvenir stores - I got some in Turkey or Greece, but they must be elsewhere.
