Now to the final part of the Scottish castle commission, a small stables block that can be attached to the main keep.
The idea was to have a couple of stable blocks on a separate base but with some loose walls (with magnets) that can be put between the two bases but also there's a small wicker fence that can be placed between the two stable blocks so it can be a separate base all on it's own.
All the walls for this were from Wills sheets and the quoins are styrene strip. The thatch is the dreaded teddybear fur that had a bit of work with glue and a comb and hasn't turned out too bad (I am still looking for the perfect thatch but it's been a long slog and I ain't there yet).
The doors are normal balsa wood given a bit of distress which helps with the drybrushing. Ground work was per the castle itself. The walls and thatch were sprayed but finished off in a more traditional manner (wash and drybrush).
Of course, for me, the enjoyable part is the growies. Same as before but with a few more heather bushes and some longer bits of grass.

I like how this addition really drives home that this sort of "castle" is really a home first,and fortified place second.
ReplyDeleteTeddy bear fur turned out rather well.
Thanks 😊
DeleteThe arrangement turned out better than I thought as well lol
cheers

Looking great! How exactly do you make the quoins? I hate having a join!
ReplyDeleteThank you 😊
DeleteUnfortunately they are individually cut from different sized strip styrene then stuck on, cleaned up and given a quick brush over of the solvent glue to round them off a bit. No quick way I'm afraid 😕
cheers
