Crusader Castle
Crusader Castle.
Another older build and also another Castle Build, something a little more substantial this time.
So, the plans for this castle I had found on the internet some years ago and saved. I can’t for the life of me remember where they originally came from or what the castle was used for.
Again, I used foam-core covered in filler for the structure. This time I sanded the walls a lot because I wanted a nice smooth texture, especially on the corners.
For the most part the roofs are attached and there is no access to the interior of the towers. I have found that although having access is a nice feature it rarely sees any use in the games we play. If we ever decide to place figures inside a tower, we can use an abstract way to represent it and remove the figures from the gaming table.
Having said that there are a couple of roofs that come off and I have added a little detail inside by way of shelves and trinkets.
I made the main gates lockable and of course fully functional. The entrance to the gate will have two options. An earth and rock bank and an alternative wooden scaffolding structure. These would be interchangeable to allow a slight variation to the building.
The whole model was then painted up in a very light sandstone colour.
