Back at it!


A farmer milking the cows


The British visitors giving some gold to the local jesters.
  

The Arab visitors with their genie and diamonds :)


Some of the town guards and two fellows playing a card game
(And an archer in case something goes wrong with the visitors)


The Spanish visitors brought some monkeys from the tropics.


And apparently an Aztec :)


The first gate to the castle itself.


The walkway to the castle
(The moat is made up out of blue base plates and a few thousand 1x1 round translucent pieces for texture)


The main gate house with portcullis and murder holes. The front has tilting boards allowing the archers and crossbowmen to shoot at.


Uruk-hai...ehem so, they're strong, fast and feared = good soldiers


The feast! (Got a little dusty due to lack of care)


The winch to the round tower with the catapult


Some of the daily commotion in the castle
(Top to bottom: Boy with slingshot hanging out the window,
Father returns from a journey to his wife and son who is holding his sword
Another knight is preparing to leave)


The crossbowmen on guard


The church in the town.


Windmills on good ol' Bilbos house


A small market stand


The procession


Horse pasture
(And a high speed train in the back)


Some farmers bringing in the hay


Soooo, then I had this "magnificent" idea and the enthusiasm and Sunday at my disposal for the tear down and partial (Ha. ha. hardly) rebuild.



So it begins. Sigh. Split the two tables so as to access the castle better.
The little bags were used to sort all the pieces with. (Ended up with dozens of them)


My friend helped me out for the tear down. (Here's a better over view too)


Wups, no more castle.


The "junk" walls to keep my current work space clear


The junk walls again


Marking things off for size and future placement


The walkway out of the castle.


Laying out the moat


Uhmmm, am I still following the plan?!



This is how far I am so far, the pillars for the mountain that the castle will finally stand on.
