Romano-British for Dux Britanniarum
The Watchtower build continues
Hmmm, what exciting paint schemes will I try out over the long weekend? Oh, hang on, I can’t do any painting because I still have to keep green stuffing this wretched Watchtower!
I left the row of bricks and corner stones where the top platform meets the body of the tower till last. This is because I want to ensure a smooth join between the two pieces. I want to avoid any bits of green stuff hardening into lumps that then lift off the top platform and prevent it fitting properly, whilst at the same time I don’t want to have too obvious a gap between the connecting rows of bricks and stones.
I also made sure to add green stuff to the interior walls of the ramparts so that all external stone surfaces were covered.
Once I’ve done the last rows of bricks and corner stones, this should be ready for basing and painting.
