Hohenschwangau castle (1:160)

[Mike Shotin]

Hello

Let me show my new work - Hohenschwangau castle by Schreiber-Bogen
I bought this model kit at Schwangau souvenir shop in 2014
The kit have some simplification and I hope to improve some details

First - the basement

I have that in my stash. It is nice to see a build report. It should be interesting.

Next step - the main wall
I made the wall battlements support by the beer cardboard

Looking good! I was there in 2002. I would have totally snatched this up if it would have been there. Can't wait to see how it develops.

The fountain tower
It was pretty hard to form walls, but all white spaces are easy to remove by paint

Then I made the road to hill and the small viewpoint at the top

The entry tower and the hill side "grass"
I glued some support by cardboard for big slope part

That is one of my favorite models. We spent the night in Hohenschwangau in 2007. Our hotel was directly across the road from the castle. We were on the back side and faced the castle. It was great to lay in bed and see the castle all lit up. See my photos - Our 2007 Cathedralquest to experience cathedrals in Germany,Day 12 from Lindau to Hohenschwangau. The next day (also in my next day's journal,) we toured the inside. I had made the model before our journey as i usually do. It was a fun visit and a great model to make. I hope that you enjoy making it. You are doing a great job.

You're making a wonderful job of it, Mike.
