Janet helps Gunner with the ratios. Thank you, Janet!!
Gunner cuts turrets into the top of the outer walls. Bit by bit, the castle takes shape...
A few more finishing touches and then the fun can begin...
The fun part.
Ta da! The finished product.
We wanted to put moss down between the walls, but the paint was still too tacky and we weren't sure we had enough moss. Plus, the moss wasn't really to scale. (The water is crumpled and torn paper pieces glued down. Pretty cool effect. Gunner's idea.)
Compare to the real thing:
You can't really see the water in this photo, but it's there. Pretty good likeness, eh? The photo is 180 degrees flipped from the model above, but you get the idea.We sure missed you on this one, Poppy!

Incredible model!!! Great job Linda, Janet, and Gunner. The shape is really nicely done, and the details really make it pop. Good luck on your oral presentation next Tuesday.
Heh, maybe we can build something like this in Iraq!
Love you all,
Christopher-Michael / Poppy / CW3 Pedersen
