Large fortified mansion (28mm)


Here some pictures of my massive fortified mansion (the colours on most of the picture are wrong due to flash, wrong lighting, etc.) The real colours are more subtile.


A picture where you can see the entire mansion with on the left the entry gate and on the right the tower with entrance. The ground was a big piece of hardboard which was covered with filler, sand, PVA and stones and siliconekit to create the interior place and road.


Here a close up of the mansion, with the outer defence wall and the mansion itself. On the corners of the outer defence wall I added piles of earth and pikes to protect those weak points in the mansion's defence.


Here you can see my most favourite part of the project the interior of the watch/guard tower.
This tower's stone part was made of isomo or polystrene, then covered with cheap thick cartonboard to cover up some mistakes :). And then it as textured with PVA and sand for the stony feeling.


The watchtower's roof made with a frame of thick cartonboard and tiled with cartonboard tiles. You can also see a chimney made of polystrene.


here you can see the entry gate with the pikes on the corners. (again to much light, I'm a bad photographer)


The most consmunig part of the project the mansion, this was made of a basic shape of 2 blocks of polystrene covered on the backside with cartonboard and textured the same as the tower. the front was covered with wood and filler to create the old medieval feeling. The windows and door were made separately of a cartonboard basic shape covered with woodstrips and attached painted afterwards.

stay tuned, ...
