No problems mate, would love to see it eventuate.

Here you go... Good idea Frank. It works quite well I think.
The murder holes are set at floor level in the upper storey, allowing stones to be rolled out onto, and boiling oil to be poured straight down upon any unwelcome visitors trying to force the main gate...

Meanwhile, first fit of tuftage has taken place... More to come, plus more general greensward / flock...

Absolutely delightful

Love the murder hole, very understated but it works well

Are you a secret member of the tufty club by any chance

cheers

Seems so but who isn't these days? It's nice to see LAF promoting the road safety message to the over 50's amongst us.

I was thinking something larger too, but that works VERY well Richard and makes sense to boot. Just enough to give any unwelcome guests knocking on your door a bit of hell and breaks up that large wall so nicely.

Awesome piece and the tufts look great.

BTW - I think LAF needs a Tufty Club badge.

This is a brilliant project, really enjoying your attention to detail.

Brilliant!

That's just the right amount of tufts/grass around the base. Have you done the edges yet? Is that this beastie finished?

Thanks Andy. No, not quite. I'm going to do a bit more greening - while following your suggestion and leaving a well worn dirt track right around the base of the tower. Unfortunately, I'm only able to give it an hour here or there at the moment. Busy times on all sorts of other things

Looking great. All the additions bring it to life and the base is really setting it off. Excellent job, can't wait to see it in the flesh

Excellent

It turned out pretty damn good. Great Work.

Holy smokes! That sir, is indeed the bomb!

Richard, you got the most out of this plastic. I have to say: You are still the emporer of plastic. Very nice.

very nice idea indeed!!!

Thanks.

Here is the finished tower. Had fun today setting up a couple of scenes to show the tower off to good effect... The ruins in the background are by Manor House Workshop.

First, a Wars of the Roses siege - the Yorkists holed up and then sallying forth... Sandal Castle perhaps?

Here you can see the fairly unsatisfactory interior detail. Timber floor added by me. It would be more work to add full interior detail - I guess it depends how often you plan to have the roof off...

I then set up a little set-to between my Game of Thrones factions.
The Starks attacking a holdfast occupied by the Lannisters and their Bolton allies...
