Medieval Mayhem - A Barons War Project
Terrain - Castle
After creating the buttresses in the Church ( see previous entries) I thought what else could I do with my remaining foam core. Every medieval setting needs some form of castle. Plus I had been meaning to create a tower for Dungeons and Dragons so of course it was a easy decision. So I decided to create a square tower.
Unfortunately I did get a bit carried away and didn’t take any pictures of the build process. But it basically went like this.
- Step one decide on the size, I used the height of the church tower as a rough guide.
- Cut out the four sides
- Create the roof section.
- Soak off the paper from the foam core ( this is a really horrible task and would not recommend it in anyway buy foam core without paper).
- Using a pencil creat the brick and wood textures.
- Build the main box and use interior bracing supports to give extra strength. Also masking tape to hold the pieces together as the PVA sets don’t try and use super glue that messes up the foam core.
- Realise you need a door
- Construct steps and add a door using coffee stirrers.
- Decide that there needs to be a way of getting to the roof of the castle tower so build a mini tower in the corner and add a door.
