Hi all, been a while, but I have been busy since finishing the Ork vs. Imperial ironclads...
I have been wanting to get some terrain down for multipurpose game players so I decided to start
with a tower/keep...
Almost everything is from scratch or a repurposed item...mostly carboards, foams, needlepoint frames
for window inserts, a lot of glue, time and patience!!
two so far with three more in the werx...
one will have a fully furnished playable interior and the other is illuminated from inside with a flicker-buld t-light
Bothe have retractable draw planks at front door for that eas of a better night's sleep!! lol
let me know what ya think so far...

That is both really creative and really well done!

Thank you Brother Michael!!!
I still have a bunch of detailing, weathering washes and things to finish up, but I like how it's come out so far...

finished piece #1.the lighted tower


I will post other pics in the finished and based section...
Thanx for looking!!...

Very cool. I think the links for the first post are broken though.

Yep, Links are broken. I'd like to see them though...

Here is tower#2...








A close up of the scratch built furniture so far...bed needs a spread and pillows, and bookcase will get books!!


This one is about complete except for needing a base built for it!

I gotta say, these towers look great. I saw, initially, that the construction was mostly cardboard and cork and I thought it wouldn't work out too well, but I see now that they're coming along great! Well done.

Great stuff! Fairly simple yet very effective!

Nice work. I like the interiors you've created.

Wow!!...Thank you all for the comments and compliments...

I try to stay as simple as possible when I get into a build because I get more ideas as I go along, and they usually get the build more and more complex as I go!
I have always been that way with even my graphite and airbrush art...

I have two...maybe three more of these towers on my workbench...then I will turn to building some curtain walls for one or two of them.

These are definitely learning units as they are the VERY first I have ever built so I need and appreciate anything you all might want to say...

hard critique is just fine with me also!

Thanx again...
Cheers!

p.s....sorry 'bout the broken links before....I forgot and moved a few to another photobucket folder...then the bucket dropped them all!!
I got finished finding and reinputting last night...what a mess!! lol..oh well, live and learn right?
