HI

You are a very talented diorama builder. It looks more like a piece of art than a child's toy . Now I have to go look at how you built it and see your secrets.

Thanks for sharing

That's a beautiful job on the scenery work, and a great castle design.  :love:
And how convenient to have their own railway siding for deliveries  :P

This is fantastic, thank you for sharing your beautiful work.  Your son is very lucky -- the landscape and especially the tunnels look like they'll add a lot to the already considerable play value, once he's old enough to play with it.

Just a random question, if my black knights army was sieging your castle what would prevent us from simply climbing up the mountain behind your castle and having longbowmen and crossbowmen shoot continuous volleys of arrows and bombard with fire from above?  ;D
Title: Re: Skywalker Castle Diorama - Welcome Dear Ladies and Lords
Post by: bonniebeth on January 19, 2011, 02:42:04
I was wondering that too.

Ver gUDE!!!!!

It reminds me of the kingdom of Gandor from Lord of the Rings because it is also built into the side of a mountain like that!  Ich liebe!

My one question: where does the jaw bridge open up to?  Is there going to be a mote?  Or a corresponding hillside?
Title: Re: Skywalker Castle Diorama - Welcome Dear Ladies and Lords
Post by: Skywalker on January 19, 2011, 14:03:58
BlackKnight: on the side of the hill most knights who tried that were smashed by this gigantic iron monster on rails that attacks every 2 minutes :0

on the other side of the hill is  the undiscovered "dragonland" nobody ever came back who went there. rumors say there lives a 8 month old giant dragon who eats , smashes , destroyes everything that comes in his hands.

BlackPearl: good question. i really came in trouble when i build the first underconstruction of the castle and the bridge endet so high i would have need 3 extra meters just to get a way back to the floor. there will be another small "bridge-to the floor-diorama" . i have some ideas for that but not 100% sure. my first impuls was to get another castle...but no...that would be too much

If I may,
I am not sure this is exactly what you are talking about,
But, if you built a little moat that connected to the other rock,
just wide enough for the drawbridge to span,
Then would that fix it? ???

Of course I am completely against the idea of not getting another castle... ;)
It is never too much. ;D
Title: Re: Skywalker Castle Diorama - Welcome Dear Ladies and Lords
Post by: Skywalker on January 19, 2011, 20:39:12
Warrior: in the beginning i thought this area is clear - a moat. but i did get some books from the library about castles and the good ones had another "small" castle around the start of the bridge. i really liked that. so i thought about a way up with 2 towers and maybe one building....hmmmm i am still thinking how i solve this. but it´s clear it has to be a diorama of it´s own  ;D

The train? Haha ok so then realism is clearly not an issue. No problem! Just was wondering. Love how you did the landscape, there is definitely realism there!!
