A look behind the scenes of what went into creating my Yellow Castle Revamp.<\/p>\n

The first thing I did was make the base, which consisted of 4 hinging 8×16 sections, 2 on each side, which hinged off of a 16×32 section in the middle. Then I put in the drawbridge.<\/p>\n

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

Next, I figured out what sort of wall texture I wanted, and where to put the arrow slits and towers. I decided on spots of SNOT medium dark flesh tiles, dark tan plate texturing, and tan log bricks.<\/p>\n

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

More wall building, and also adding the archway over the drawbridge. I had to be careful when attaching SNOT tiles to make sure it didn’t get in the way of each section hinging correctly.<\/p>\n

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

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

I wanted to have a blacksmith shop and a stables\u00a0inside the castle, though with the towers and hinging wall sections it was a little bit tricky finding places to put them. It worked best putting them in the back, on either side of the main tower, so I went with that.<\/p>\n

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

\"8\"<\/p>\n

I wanted the drawbridge to be fully functional, so I had to figure out a mechanism for that, and also started putting on the wall walks and battlements.<\/p>\n

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

I finished the two towers and main keep, but still had the blacksmith shop, stables, two sections of wall on the back, and courtyard detailing left.<\/p>\n

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

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

After finishing off those few things, adding a tree and some figs, it was done!:<\/p>\n
