up in the computer room at present thinking whats wrong with the build, possibly a rethink time, i may swing the whole bridge assembly around and have the river passing through along the back, by doing so i will loose space but bring in another idea of the London bridge housing scheme

thanks guys, that was certainly a school boy error with the arch stones, i was thinking about a gate house prior to the arches, but to make space for the river and roads i may have to alter the wall, perhaps move the arches more towards the bridge

good evening everyone Day 4 city gates im still experimenting and try to see what works for me, i appreciate this is a model ship site not kevin's do anything site, but as i am allowed i want to keep my followers interested, and I am accepting helpful advice and ideas the large gates are 25' x 25' each, i will put wooden gates in and portcullis later on, not sure what to do with the long white wall to the left it looks a bit bear at present, a quick tidy up to see what i have achieved

i touched a piano once, and accidently on purpose slammed the lid shut on me brother's fingers, he has never talked to me since, and that was in 1968

good evening everyone day 3 since restart the left side of the river bridge is complete for now, i bulked out the base of the span to look a little more realistic the city entrance wall is on the table now, with two arch entries, and will be defended by watch towers on either side the base carcase is balsa covered with card inside the arches is wood, for a contrast as i only have 20,000 grey bricks, i need to find out if they can re coloured/stained

good evening everyone thank you for comments and likes day 2 after reset well i made a start , i wanted to incorporate the bridge, as it was 99% complete, the base from the kit was stored away for another day, and another one built in its place i am working in scale 1/160 to 1/180 1/160= N scale and 1 foot=1.9mm if im correct the new wall is 41 feet high once this corner is sorted (not necessary complete) i will have a good idea on a how things are going to work

great idea on the gentle slope

everything on the board to the left of the city wall will be raised by about an inch to allow some depth of the river, the wall along to back and right side will be wide enough for troops and cruise ship passengers of the future, some electrics depending on time, i will be able to extend the river to allow a port and fields, however i am also aware just how much work one building will take, never mind the 1000's of bricks just for the city wall, here in the UK, it is cheaper, just to buy the kits for the bricks rather than sourcing them from Spain

yes def some monks and some girls of bad reputation lol,

good evening everyone well it had to happen, not happy with just the kit, i had to expand my project a little i have been following a few logs on here @Ekis @modeller_masa and @Waitoa and they have inspired me to do something different for a change, i have always been happy with building ships and thoroughly enjoy it, but in the last few months i have realised that there are other things i would love to try, this was brought to a head a few weeks ago when the wife suggested trying something different and the Stari Most Bridge was started so here i am with a 48x 30 inch base board and a town to build, i have no time frame to work to, but would like to get the Dorade build completed within the next six months, inspired by Game of Thrones i did try basing the idea on the city Of Dubronik, but the harbour was taking to much room, so i have scaled it at present to the fortification of a river valley with high walls on two sides still very much in the planning stage, and would love any ideas and take any criticism
