Wow, a lot of work in that piece!

Abecedar:

that castle is really a labour of love and it shows.

Willmark:

Thanks Abecedar.

Another update over at DoWO, this time? Ashigaru and ninjas.

Willmark:

So it seems that I keep thinking of more modular ideas for this castle.

The next decision I’m contemplating is to add a moat in a modular fashion like Nick Davis did in White Dwarf #225 (AFAICR) and then create a hill than will raise the whole thing up to simulate a mountain castle. The idea would be to use the moat to simulate a castle on the low-lands and then swap it out for the raised base.

Willmark:

Yet another update gang, seems the scope of this thing keeps getting bigger and bigger! :hat off

Willmark:

The moat sections are now complete; if all goes well pics will be up tonight.

Abecedar:

Are you thinking Imperial Palace as in raised up behind walls, or a more primitive hill?

Abecedar
Erm, I don't think I understand the question?

All- posts of progress going up over DoWO.

Abecedar:

Sorry for my vagueness. My memory of the Imperial palace and from google, is the moat with the stone walls rising 20 or so feet and the building set behind, as opposed to a moat around a hill with a fortress on the hill

Willmark:

Ahh ok I understand your question now. No, if I raised it up as an option like the corner sections I�?Td make it all rise up without the moat sections.

Another update on the in progress war band of Nippon:

Nicodemus:

So much great stuff there!! Thanks for keeping us posted Willmark! So jealous of the old Citadel models!!

Admiral:

Given that Dogs of War forum is down, this log needs its pictures. O Dark Lord, please upload them here, where curious eyes can see them directly. :wink:

Willmark:

Yeah I�?Tll need to make some long term decisions on DOW. We�?Tll see about here for this army.

Willmark:

With DOWO in hiatus mode I’ll be posting my Army of Nippon here. I actually have several units done already; I may also need to transfer threads to here.

Abecedar:

Looking forward to catching up with their progress

Willmark:

Good news, I’ve begun to paint my Nippon castle!

Right now its just priming it, so far I’ve had to use three large bottles of black to undercoat it (I’m expecting five bottle in total when done). I’ll probably have to go over it with spray paint after the fact. But first is finish the priming and then add another coat.

Pics (hopefully) within the next few days.

Uther the unhinged:

I am looking forward to. Good luck.
