Renedra Castle Build - In action

[jon_1066]

Thanks for all the comments

Well the stone masons are largely finished on the first phase - just the plasterers then decorators to come in.  I finished off the walls and crenelations using a little jig I made up to get the 22.5 deg cuts.  It wasn't perfect but good enough.  Next is more filling, then painting.

Some example castles:







I am quite pleased with the range of options available and the way it goes together.  Some neatening of the edges required to give a better fit but mission accomplished.  I have some doors to make up that will drop in at required locations for access to the walls from the towers plus the trap doors for access to the roofs.

My plan is to use it in a siege scenario for Dragon Rampant with some home brew siege rules.

Splendid 

I think the second option is my favourite

What a wonderful piece. Amazing is a total understatement.

Very Nice.
I may have missed this but are you keeping it modular?
If you are sticking it together then I'm with Bibbles, No.2 is the best

[jon_1066]

Thanks guys.  No the plan is to keep it modular.  If only for storage!

I wouldn't sweat the fit. Once you start playing things are going to get jostled out of alignment anyway.
Super fab.
Plans for a few more towers?

[jon_1066]

Yes - I have one more tower kit to do as a three story keep.  The plan will be to insert it into the outer wall or have it on a mound linked by a causeway to the bailey.  I will build the mound to allow the tower to be removed.  It will also treble up as a church tower if everything goes to plan.

Ah good! I was just gonna say, the one thing it lack sit a tall tower / keep for the lord of the castle to reside in.

Great project! The keep aside, I think the Renedra towers look tons better in this shortened state.

Well time passes - finally got back to this project by applying some paint.  Daunted with many square inches of wall I have finally hit upon a method for covering it - Liquitex acrylic spray! 

I wanted to avoid grey dry brushing so I went for Raw Sienna over a grey undercoat with a mid Sienna tone as a base and number 7 as the top coat.  My first test piece was a little "fleshy" so I toned down the mid tone on the other pieces painted so far.



Still much to do but it's starting to take shape
