Here is a behind the scenes look at what went into the making of Chillon Castle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first thing I try to do is figure out the layout of the building and landscape:<\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/p>\n

Then I make sure to mark the building location for future reference, and often start on roughing out the landscape.<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/p>\n

Now I’m ready to start on the castle itself, but I still need to figure out the wall design. The corner section you see below, was a prototype of how I’d ‘shrink’ the main tower.<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/p>\n

Building the interior is easiest before you’ve gotten the walls to high:<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/p>\n

\"5\"<\/p>\n

The pillars provided a strong base to build the second floor onto:<\/p>\n

\"6\"<\/p>\n

The windows took quite a bit of trial and error, and because of the thick walls I had quite a bit of space to work with:<\/p>\n

\"7\"<\/p>\n

Second floor completed, now the supports for the wall walk are attached and the tower and gatehouse continue:<\/p>\n

\"9\"<\/p>\n

Onto the battlements:<\/p>\n

\"10\"<\/p>\n

Starting to add roofs, and prepare for the main tower’s fourth story:<\/p>\n

\"11\"<\/p>\n

Completed exterior:<\/p>\n

\"13\"<\/p>\n

Interior:<\/p>\n
