I was thinking Alan regarding your figures when you get round to working on them (I know thats a long way off yet) becuase of the small scale 1-200 and trying to paint them at that scale would be a real pain, could you not use a larger scale of figures - would they look out of place against the walls and doorways etc. OC.

Hi there, Loving it - the blocks are really showing their detail now - so coming together, it looks like the outer curtain wall where probably defended by wooded platforms accessed by ladders, same in the towers they would also have some wood platforms again with ladders, the missing sections in the video of the outer wall was probably damaged over the years hence why its missing. Some castles show a wider curtain wall built up with stones and a walk way, but this would have come latter, earlier they where still using wood for the fittings and defence areas. OC.

Really loving what you are doing Alan, all the stone work makes it an organic piece by piece build, that has your own stamp on it that you will remember for a long time. After the buildings/lanscaping is done she so cries out for a battle scene - if that is what you was thinking? - you know she will be a True One off ans so special. Take your time enjoy what you are doing, and if like my Waterloo build plan a head for what you want to create. OC.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
