I have added a
few items to the model. A second smaller tower now flanks the main hall. and to
fill a vacant spot near the gatehouse, another block was cut and completely trimmed
and scored.
All exterior
surfaces now simulate a stone surface. This would be complete if it were not
for the gatehouse. There is something not right about it and I have tried
arranging the pieces in different combinations. Generally a good night’s sleep
will help me find a good solution.
Once the final arrangement
is made I can prepare a base for the model. The model remains 3 x 3 (BW), but
the base will be slightly larger to allow for boulders to give the impression of
a mountain hilltop.
Looking at the arrangement
there would not be too much changed to make the castle appear Italian; pitch of
roof less pronounced, wall surfaces should be smooth to reflect the use of
brick or plaster.
Cheers,
Nice, VERY nice...
