SLEEPING BEAUTY CASTLE
Time for an upgrade!
I had hoped to rebuild the castle this year (and for at least 3 prior years) but the moolah never seems to be available for the ink and paper that would be required to build a new model. She looks pretty good for her age though:
But, when a piece of scrap castle material which was taken form a folder that lives in a box in the dark basement and not in the sun as the rest of the model does is placed beside it, the damage caused by the sun becomes more obvious:
Another issue was my "water". I poured polyeurethane (water-based) over an acrylic painted base and well....
The poly migrated, to put it mildly. Into the sand, up the castle walls and just turned my nice white sand beaches an ugly yellow over the years.
And then there was the "bite"...
A slight miscalculation of available real estate vs. generic measurements on my layout diagram resulted in a "field adjustment".
It didn't go away, but it looks a bit more "planned" than it wasn't.
So....here's the enhanced version:
New trees, new clean beaches and a nicer bridge.
It should fit in better with my current scenery scheme.
