A few weeks ago, I posted an image series of my Dad's work on a Crusader era castle. It's all done. Check out the video the view below.
You can follow him over on Facebook.

Although the Keep will not have a scale, the cat is as close to 1:1 scale as it could get it. Your cat may vary. |
It's impressive from an angle. |
And the side. I suspect this is fairly small, perhaps a little less than 3 feet by a little over 4 feet. |
Dad works in Styrofoam, but then adds details of plastic and wood. He skims the structures in plaster to get that texture.
|
As you can see, he uses a simple dry brush style. |
Note the difference from the stonework on the bottom of the walls vs. the plastered look of the top. |
One of the painting tricks I picked up from my Dad was an item will look realistic if it repeats the colors from the surrounding terrain.
|
You can see the castle shares the same colors as the rock it sits on. |
This building is obviously worn, another technique that makes an item look authentic. |
This angle shows the details of the stairs and such. Funny, this model is made for figures on bases, so their tiny feet can never reach the stairs.

I'm going to leave the last couple of images comment-less, but check out Classical Hack on the web or over on DriveThruRPG. |
