Building a Medieval fortress - by Waitoa - Del Prado 1/87

i will have to scratch everything, but i can get a rough idea by counting the amount of bricks to get the length and height, the pile of wet grass for your silage pile sounds interesting -

good evening eveyone its me the silly old one living in Somerset Day 9 since restart, and still going at it one side is almost finished, and the other side will be tomorrow, not sure about the tower, trying to work out how to complete it, a spire is on the cards at present, plus i might put in some openings from the bells, bats and spiders a;though i have no intentions of restarting this, i must be more careful when planning a building from scratch, as there is a mismatch in brick heights on one side compared to the other, i have hidden it as best i can, hence the thin bricks at the top of the windows

agreed, to build a one off kit in 1/180 was fine, but to put a collection together, wasnt going to work for me because of the lack of detail, however, lol i rescaled my 1/150 Bodiam castle kit to 1/87, and it is to big for my table as it measures 900x650 https://www.hobbies.co.uk/model-kits/architectural-brick-model-kits/aedes-ars-bodiam-castle-model-kit-architectural-model-kit

i have tried several ways now, with varying results, there is certainly a fine line between how mine looks and the dressed version, and i think you said in one of your post, there are certainly builds that dont suit the fine finish, this is one of them

Good evening everyone day 7 since restart, now changed scale to 1/87 having made the decision to up the scale, everything will now have to be scratched, so i made a start, and decided like others to start on a church the card i am using is to thin for this project, and i have not dressed my tiles very well, but, nothing i wasted if i redo it again, i may try and cleans the tiles up with filler first before binning it, googled a English medieval church with square tower, 1000's to choose from and all different picked some of the bits i could copy and went for it

good evening everyone day 5 complete layout change, and revamp river entrance after the mistake made yesterday with the arch supports, and struggling how to get the river to flow with purpose i made the decision to do a complete layout change, and now much happier with the way things are going, the river is just a channel now feeding the shipyard and passengers to the city by boat the 2nd arch has gone, although i might keep both open on the other side for something, light a medieval Eastenders under bridge garage

lovely work, you give me so many ideas
-
decided i didnt like the current layout, the river was to tight a bend and i was already thinking about addon boards, which should not be necessary on day 3/4 so i moved the bridge over and placed a shipyard in, and boat traffic passengers the base board will be water height, and the waterside river gates are being revamped to include towers from this to this
