Often is the case, I leave projects for quite a while unfinished due to what I like to term as myself having suffered a Mind Block! Much later I can, and do,come back with fresh ideas to have a stab at doing more work. Recently having seen my Topic: "Medieval Building " completely ruined by missing pictures not of my making,and a certain something way beyond my control,I decided to open this new tab,because it would be quite stupid placing this there.

Some of you might remember the Medieval Tower I made yonk`s ago?
"That means a Long Time Ago.Nearly as long as me getting this worm out of this page on Benno`s Figure Forum. Perhaps it is a new breed of internet bookworm? If it is ,does that make me a Free Range Antivirus Chicken ?"
Well, I have been Mixing Up ,Spash! Splash! My own Mixture of Wash! Water,black,brown,green,and dollops of PVA Glue all Wickedly Stirred Up! He,He,He! Yip! Time has arrived to give the near completed medieval walls of this place a Good Wash! On the stone floor a bag of Kiln Dried Sand for use on the base of this place.
Shown above are the battlements of the Tower it`s self. There are also two red bricks that will be painted over. As you can see a nosey Roman turned up to have a butchers at the work. ( A Look See! )What a cheek he just waltzed in without a care in the world. I will be fitting the huge Oak Door to this place if I can find it,to prevent further events like this happening. Next time he will need a Battering Ram!
These rather Posh Edwardains, turned up too,and were keen to find out more about this eight sided Tower and why it had been built. Of course they perfectly understood why King Henry agreed to let the structure be built ,as each side wall of the Tower represented a King Henry of England,from the first one to reign leading all the way up to King Henry the VIII Himself.Hidden symbols were placed upon the walls during the whole building process by Master Masons. They placed an easy one to see upon the steps leading to the great door entrance.
Concerning the history of this place it is indeed shrouded in deep mystery,and tales of long ago battles even one set in the near Future. These hard flint walls,just awaiting that moment in Time & Space to happen.
More cheek a couple of Romans upon those very steps.
So the first Waterproof Wash has gone on,and being made up as it was, means that if I want to add more lighter colour washes to differing area`s they will not react with this base colour. BB
