king derelict Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share #91 Posted February 3, 2023 I reached a minor milestone today. I turned the corner onto the last section of walling and the end of the outer wall is in sight (at least the outer half - it all has to be done again on the inner side) You can also see that I have reached the point on the last round tower where the landscape starts to climb onto the wall and the brickwork no longer runs the full depth of the wall. Its going to be interesting trying to keep the tiers horizontal but the pattern on the cardboard formers should help I'm rough shaping and cleaning up while I wait for glue to set but I will go back and finish the tidying up once its all built. I taped the joins in the cardboard formers for the main structure and hand painted the interior black with craft acrylic to help reduce light bleed through. I need to map out the lights and how to position them. This probably needs to be done before adding the blocks. I also need to add partitions to stop lines of sight through the building. They will be full height and will also help hold the oof up. I'm sure Aedes Ars know what they are doing but they seem to trust some weighty structure to a few bits of cardboard The roof template shows the outlines of the next level and I have been tracing out which elements will have windows or doors and thus need leds in place and wires routing through the roof And here is a bigger version of those walls and towers Conway Castle, North Wales.

king derelict Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share #97 Posted February 7, 2023 I still slowly grinding (literally) away at the outer walls. As usual nothing much got done at the weekend but I got some useful time in today. It still moves along fairly slowly because I think its worth letting a tier set before trying to sand back level and risking knocking off a couple of blocks and having to do it all over again. I turned the last corner and am on the last tower and section of wall This is where the hill will climb up the wall And the panorama showing the completed work so far. Our nice post lady brought a package from the UK this morning The 10mm Pendraken medieval figures. They are really beautiful and I think they will work well. Thank you @Old Collingwood for the suggestion. They have a medieval cannon set too so I am considering a couple. I'm still a bit concerned about @Egilmanhowitzer Painting them is going to be interesting I think we will be going for *overall effect* Does anyone know how to prime metal figures? I have the Mr Metal Primer for PE so I am planning on using that Some thought is going to have to be given to adding them to the model. They are too small to really remove from their bases so maybe I can thin the base down. Thanks for looking in, all the likes and comments. Alan .

Old Collingwood Posted February 7, 2023 Share #98 Posted February 7, 2023 Excellent progress Alan, and so like the look of your new figures - metal figures do paint up nice as they can have sharper details than plastic ones, with regards to primers for metal figures, I would advise to make sure they get a good soapy wash first to remove and release agants - with the primer, it sunds like your Mr Metal Primer would be OK but I'm not sure 100%.

king derelict Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share #104 Posted February 12, 2023 Sorry for the dolorous progress. Real like has been intruding badly these last days. Partly its self inflicted. I was asked to come back and consult for a couple of engine tests and I (possibly foolishly) agreed. It will keep the wolf a few paces away from the door and doubtless improve sales at Sprue brothers et al. Its also good to hear the howl of an F135 at full throttle again Anyway, in quiet hours some progress has been made and the outer faces of the walls have been finished Now I have to turn it around and do it all over again on the inside. Some of the blockwork on the inside of the towers is going to be interesting.. I had planned to take a break at this point but I'm enjoying it too much and playing with engines will provide enough diversion so I'll try to keep going. Its going to be slow though so get comfy and lay in plenty of snacks and adult beverages Thanks for all the support, likes and comments Alan mtaylor, Canute, hof00 and 15 others 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king derelict Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share #113 Posted March 5, 2023 I haven't given up on this project but time to work on it has become rather scarce. That part time consulting role has become a sixty hour week working all seven days. So I'm doing a lot more of this instead of adding blocks to the Castillo Loarre. It has had the effect of recharging my interest and I'm looking forward to getting back into this in the near future. So, apologies for the lack of progress and updates. I hardly have time to check a few threads and as usual be amazed at what everyone is doing. I'm also jealous of course. At least I hope to pass on the benefits of working to Sprue Brothers shortly.
