king derelict Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share #332 Posted December 22, 2023 I’m back. I got home about midnight Tuesday after a miserable 20 hour travel day. I felt even worse on Wednesday morning so I did the nose / swab thing and Yup I’ve got Covid. Oh joy. Looks like being a quiet Christmas. i had hoped to be back on the castle but I think there may be some schedule slip. I just put up the Christmas tree and retired to the sofa to recuperate. There are some interesting titles in this list. I already fell victim to one. https://www.aerosociety.com/news/aerospace-book-choices-for-christmas-2023/?utm_campaign=2674865_22 Dec - Insight Blog Roundup&utm_medium=email&utm_source=2674865_22 Dec - Insight Blog Roundup&dm_i=4OGU,1LBXT,33UWYK,7GP92,1 in am effort to add a little model content, I wanted to show something I acquired on my travels.

king derelict Posted January 2 Author Share #344 Posted January 2 I'm back albeit in a rather lethargic sort of way. The covid hung around much longer than I expected and although the symptoms were more annoying than life threatening I still seem to get really tired easily and find it difficult to work up any motivation. However coffee is starting to taste better so there is much to be grateful for. I spent most of yesterday staring at the model trying to remember what I was doing before I went to Europe While I was away a parcel of Woodland Scenic goodies came from the nice people at Mega Hobbies and should get me started on the landscapes. I think the end result will be a blend of the techniques suggested by @Egilman, @Canute , @Jack12477 and others. Many thanks for the help I reviewed the painted miniatures and touch up a few and I think they are as good as I can get them. I tried the Agrax Earth wash (thanks @Old Collingwood) and I like how its shaded and added to the shadows. Its toned down the yellow tunics a bit too. I played around with the hot wire cutter. It does a good job as long as you don't expect accuracy but its great for removing material and shaping hills. I have a lot extruded polystyrene so I think this will be used to block out the basic shapes. Hydrocal and plaster bandages will be used to achieve the final shapes. I had a bit of an experiment with one side of the tower and I think it will work. I'm endlessly rerunning the drone footage of the surrounding landscape. The Aedes Ars guide has now made it to the bin. The main towers are only sat in place while I was fiddling with the foam. I need to finish the ground and add the figures before hooking up the lighting and gluing it in place. A few of the figures have made it to the towers. Better photos tomorrow I hope My Spanish friend who kindly sent me the Loarre Castle kit a few years back was thoughtful enough to send something restorative for Christmas this year. A bottle of Franklin Four Maple Bourbon. It looks like a great covid antidote. Its great to be back. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a belated Happy New Year to all.

king derelict Posted January 5 Author Share #347 Posted January 5 Today brought a little more progress. I used a mix of the Mig Ammo Terraform texture (beach sand) with craft acrylic paint (khaki). The Mig texture goes a lot further than I expected and it does break up the flat look that paint alone would give. The colour approximates to the ground in the real castle. I then added the Woodland Scenic green blend turf in the areas that it appears on the drone flights. I'm not sure if I have overdone it and may need to thin the green turf out a bit. I'm also considering adding a bit in some of the other courtyards. The drone flights only show it in the areas I have added it but to my mind it leaves the rest of the model looking a bit bare. I needn't have worried about the painting of the figures. They are sort of lost on the tower but they do give a bit of scale Once I adjust the grass to my liking the tower will be ready to glue to the supports on the main base and the build up of the landscape can start.

king derelict Posted January 10 Author Share #353 Posted January 10 Apart from some residual tiredness I seem to be back to normal. But we have seven people off sick from our test team so its chaotic at work. Real Life - aleays something. Anyway I have used the foam blocks to rough out the basic scenery. The hot wire cutter was a great investment. It is quick and great for cutting curves. Much better than teh kitchen knife I used to borrow on these occasions. The use of the foam blocks for the landscape solved another problem. When it came time to add the towers to the base I found that excessive (or clumsy) handling had resulted in the card base becoming soft and prone to distortion. This meant that the card and foam supports were sinking into the base and causing the towers to lean. It didn't look like a good long term assembly either. I cut the foam blocks that surround the towers such that they fit under the walls and provide support all round the perimeter of the towers. It feels a lot more solid now Now I am adding layers of paper towel soaked in diluted white glue to smooth and refine the surface. The next step will be a coating of artists medium to provide a uniform surface for the various landscaping effects. Then I plan to use cast plaster rock faces to fill in the cliffs around the walls. Several boulders and rock faces will be added to the hillsides. The overall effect is an interpretation of the actual landscape. The basic design of the kit on a flat baseboard instead of a slope means that some compromises are necessary. I don't expect to get much sympathy for this but the current cold spell in Florida (the cats are demanding the heating switched on) means the white glue is taking ages to dry so I'm having to move a bit slower than expected.

Thank you EG, you provided some great advice. per the BBC As of Tuesday evening, more than 500,000 households in the eastern US, from Florida to New York State were without electricity. Dozens of counties in Florida have declared a state of emergency, where overnight storms have blown roofs off homes and knocked down power lines. Twelve tornadoes were reported across Florida, Alabama and Georgia by early Tuesday, causing significant damage and, in some areas, prompting search and rescue operations. In Houston County, Alabama, an 81-year-old woman was reportedly killed after a tornado ripped through the area, destroying mobile homes and RVs. One person was killed in Claremont, North Carolina, officials said, after a powerful storm moved through a mobile home park.
