    I keep making changes. Everytime I look at it, I see something different I want to do.

    I see that you have the tower floors sitting there next to it. This is really nice looking and it looks like it's not that hard to build?
    Great job

    The score lines for the stones would look good with a quick trace with a Sharpie I think, but it looks pretty cool right now.

    Good eye Mark...yeah I have a little work to do on tower floors, plus I am going to make front and rear gate floors. I also have draw bridges for front and rear gates. Trying to decide on best way to attach them. It's not hard to make, just tabs and holes. Pretty much just snaps together. It took me a lot of hours measuring and figuring during design stage. I'm talking 8-12 hours each time I sat down at sketchup. Probably a total of half a dozen sessions, and I'm still making mods. A lot of the hours were due to my being new to sketchup and learning how to manipulate tools.
    I still have to do the main living quarters, which will be attached inside of walls.

    Thanks 7up...

    I agree with what you say about sharpie. My intentions are, after I complete design, is to paint whole thing a stone color, and then do sharpie. What you see now is work in progress.
    I still have the main living quarters to do, and maybe a shed or something before I'll paint.

    Thanks, Mark and John ! !

    My being unable to work, it gives me something to occupy my time. Plus, I really enjoy the design part. It gives me a chance to utilize my tool and die skills that I have achieved over the past 30+ years when I did work.

    Stuff printed on transfer film or paper can be transferred to uncured StyroSpray.
