Going to follow this too
I need inspiration for a small castle

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks again gents 

A very tiny update because at the moment I'm cutting up rather a large amount of quoins to go on the corners. The windows are done and I'm also working on the door. The windows will be stuck in and then I'll apply the roof/battlements.

The main hall window was originally a blank for some GW buildings I was doing but I've added some microstrip and the two upper corner sections from styrene to liven it up a bit.


Now the final wall is in place and I did it off square and not straight because there's hardly any castles that have square corners anyway 


More to follow later this evening 

cheers

The window is very nice but is it really a medieval castle window not very secure or defensible?

[OSHIROmodels]

It's a good 80mm up the wall and I've seen plenty of great hall windows similar to this one. It'll probably make more sense later tonight when I take some more photos 

cheers

I thought these type of windows were later additions

[OSHIROmodels]

I've seen a few (supposedly) from the period and a bit earlier. It's not stuck so if David doesn't like it I'll do a different one 

cheers

The build reminds me of Neidpath Castle near Peebles. Looking good.

Looks like a great model...jealous of Mr Imrie - the gothic window looks great for 1400s.

Cheers fellas 

Got some quoining done and the opening surrounds. Takes a while but I think it will look ok when complete.





Just the back ones to do then it's texture time 

Or I might do the wooden staircase 

Or look at the roof...

The choices are endless 

cheers

Nice start. Looking forward to watching this progress. thanks for sharing

[Mason]

Lovely progress, mate.
 

You know that you should have built another one at the same time to use for GOT, dontcha...?
 

[Andym]

Excellent mate! I love the different thicknesses of the quoins.

How are you going to do the stonework between the corners?

[carlos marighela]

I'm imagining the excitement of a Scottish laird when he hears his castle is covered in quoins.
