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

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
