This is a little something I've been working on, probably won't be done till end of year. I'm using Hirst Arts Brick molds, a combination of molds I've bought throughout a couple years.
There is a wooden subframe for the heavier sections as well as some foam core filling larger walls. I didn't want scale to be limited by the size of table so going cutaway instead of full model. It's a easy way to go big without fitting the whole thing. Also wanted access to the inside without having to make removable sections. I'm making a counter weight mechanism for the draw bridge based on historical pics., the whole model is (loosely)based on medieval building principles. Arches to distribute weight down, the walls will be supported with flying buttresses. Planning on using real wood to make scaffolding, roofs, etc.
I'm shooting for at least a 9 score when complete.
Then I thought, hey I'm a huge GoT fan, but the figure range on sale is more along the book descriptions than the HBO show, so I found an old GW plastic bretonian set i never built did some chopping
a little bit of glue and here you have my not complete yet, GoT HBO figures.
Oberyn and the Mountain trial by combat, were the first two.
Then Tyrion and Bronn at Blackwater. Tyrion is as short as I could make him and still look decent.
and finally Jon "you know nothing" Snow and Samwell at Castle Black. Still need to make their Black Fur pelts out of greenstuff.
Like I said, my projects are full for the year.
