Here is the painted fortress with some light weathering effects around the bases of the walls and windows. The tower top photo also shows the crude resin hinge set I threw together. Everything has been sealed with polyurethane wood varnish. The Banshee is just for scale…the castle isn’t haunted! I think the brown-stone scheme actually worked out pretty well. Still lacking some minor details…like a gate for the gate house and finishing the hoarding.
The whole castle is modular and fits together nicely into a Mordheim city wall as well. Although I still want to put together a set of three 60 degree fieldstone corner pieces. Molding them would allow me to build an equilateral triangle tower which would be useful for arranging the Mordheim city wall in a less linear way.

Hey There,
This a very cool hirst art castle. What did you use to to hold up the wall? Form core or wood?

Yeap, the base structure is built from foam core, held together with dressmaker’s pins and wood glue. The base is 3mm MDF, aka fibreboard.
There’s in progress pics on here too if you dig around: http://www.tabletop-terrain.com/archives/2004/09/24/260/modelling-frenzy/
Here’s a triangular tower I added later: http://www.tabletop-terrain.com/archives/2005/03/10/342/mordheim-triangular-tower-complete/
