That looks so good - the different sizes of Ice makes it look so realistic. OC.

Evening all, more progress with the Cuirassiers adding some colour. OC.

Thanks Ken. OC.

This would look so superb as part of a dio with horses and some figures. OC.

Fingers crossed. OC.

This is the plan - kind of. OC.

I think they leave it up to the builder how its done - build up the stones to where the earth works(grass) would be or build up the earth works first and assemble the stone blocks up to it - might be best to do the stones first and make the earth works just cover them as you want. OC.

Love this build - and the additions of the figures gets my vote. OC.

So how will I make my faux doors? I will use Two pieces of paper layed ontop of each, I will then mark out the doors dimensions then cut through both peices creating Two doors the exact same size. Then I will cut out strips of the same paper to simulate the boards and Two cross boards, these will then be glued down using my PVA leaving a slight gap till both are completed. When dry I will paint both doors in flat Black and after I will do a bit of washes and dusting to weather them. I will also make some frame work using some of my wood stock, these will then be painted flat Black, and when dry I will glue them both sides of the wall macking sure they lign up on both sides of the wall, and when dry I will glue inside on the walls the Two doors - hey presto. OC.

Excellent start Alan, this has all the potential to be a fascinating build into a real star item - loving it mate. OC.

I have some similar (Lolly sticks) but they will be too thick to use for the door panels, I can use them to make some thinned down frames, but the faux door needs to be a thin as possibly literally paper thin as they will be glued on the wall both sides mimicking a door, with the frame disguising the depth of the door in a kind of 3d illusion. OC.

Thank you Alan, I think it will bug me if I don't try to make one. OC.

So pleased I could help Alan. OC.

Would you have the flexibility to make it diifferent scales? I know you said its 1/200 scale. OC.

Thank you kindly Mark, I did have the gate included in the wall section - but I had to remove it when I reduced the length of the wall, and forgot to work it into the smaller wall - kind of got distracted by the other areas of the build. OC.

Evening all, after doing some thinking I think I may be able to come up with a gate/door from the pond area into the orchard, I could make up a faux door from paper with some over layed pieces to mimic the planks, I could also use some wood to make a small frame - that should give a 3d look and blend in when all painted Black. OC.

Morning all, I have discovered a Boo boo with my build ( I wanted it as historic accurate as possible) when I cut back the wall near the pond I cut out the gate leading from the pond into the orchard - "Yep I should have cut out and fitted the gate" so guess I have to take this one on the chin. OC.

Amazing work Greg - the master is in his prime - so glad we have you in our forum brother - thank you. OC.
