Thanks for your returns, guys. I've been hill and stayed at home so it has advanced a lot those last days
The stone slab battlements/walkways - what is supporting them?
Wouldn't they be the top of a stone wall as thick as the walkway is wide?
From the very beginnig i'm looking for a good way to represents those reinforcements for the walkaway, but did not found it yet. I was thinking of using Warhammer Battle Shoulderpads to represent top of pillars, but the one i wanted are upside down.
Under the stairway, there will probably be stables, small wooden or stone houses, etc.
Well, so... Back one week ago, or maybe even a little bit more, to the work on the left tower. The problem was that it was too thin on the middle and too big on top. I really wanted it to be able to accept to WM bases on top, so i kept the size of the top platform and work on enlarging the aspect of the trunc of the tower itself.
I have worked on reinforcements large on base and thin on top.
The point is to have a tower that seem really clutched to the stone.
With that and some crenels, the whole thing seem already better.
And on the end, here it is.
I had doubts, so far, with this tower... Not anymore. I'm happy of the solution of adding those new reinforcments.
As for the right platform, it will remain low, but i have solved the problem of the natural bordel that was going in all sens by cutting it...
And add a new, straight, border.
It even make the whole plateform a little bit larger.
Most important is that it will be far easier to add walls.
I like the new point it makes above the empty space.
Addition of usual crenels...
So, here is the global aspect.
Then, i have worked on the interior, making the second door looking like it had been entirely sculpted in the rock left natural around the entrance.
So i have added some foam here and there on each part of the door.
And my Prince August rock paste.
Tower has received in the same time reinforcements fro the above, when the new additions did not had rock under them.
Finaly trimmed again the main entrance way, that was too high.
And texturing again.
Addition of stone, again, under the tower bases.
The whole base is covered with artificial stone. Same i use for my bases. And everything is cleaned with a big pencil to be ready... For paint !
And here it is with dark grey primer ! No more this light blue or green. Happy to at last have a stone appearance like it deserves.
And then, of course, i have spotted some few parts needing more stone paste. Normal...
Done... It looks like what orcs stare at, when arriving in the morning in quest of a goold old fight.
