My new hobby 3

Ok, this last project, a medieval castle my brother, just about killed me! The tedious work on the bricks, over and over got me. Each brick was cut and glued in place with home made clay filled in between each, then painted and repainted and highlighted and darkened! The hill the castle sits on has sets of stairs build into the rock, front and back. The hill itself is just egg cartons with paper towels (dipped in water/glue) draped over it. Lots of painting went into this and every stone, gravel pile and clump of grass was glued into place and blended into the terrain. I did purchase a few do dads to add more realism, the wine barrel and crates, plus a water well. I painted them and glued/blended them as well. I painted the knight also and affixed him up in the tower. His purple color matches his house banners. (though the banners more pinkish in the photos, they are in fact purple)

This whole project was the biggest and most detailed I have done so far and I WILL be scaling down my next few projects big time... I do not have the time or energy to put 0 plus hours into a project again! AHHH!

I hope everyone enjoys the pictures.

Vivian

On guard! A bit eerie. Which is good for a tower. I need to do these with some bonsai.

True artistry!

Have you considered (or maybe you already do) getting in contact with a model railroading association? These guys have rooms that they rent in warehouses, building a 70 x 50 foot platform with hatches to enable a HO train layout that is amazing, and they make towns and mountains and tunnels and engine hangars and all of it. My God! You would be their favorite adopted daughter!!! And who doesn't need that in their life?

Just a thought.
You are very talented.
Please stay with it.
