Thanks Rose! I was so disappointed after the failure of Haunts Castle that I wasn't sure I wanted to try another one but this one kept nagging at me so we'll give it a try!
Thanks much Rose! The tunnel should be wide and tall enough for cars and horses to go through it, or... they could take the steeper trail up the hill to the Castle entrance!
Goodness Judy! You certainly work fast I have really enjoyed your behind the scenes posts, and as always you amaze me with your talent and attention to detail while building and weaving such wonderful stories.
Royals Forest will 100% be in my game always, and I'm looking forward to this new castle as well!
As a bit of shameless advertising, I thought I would link you to my little project, since you inspired it all
Yes I did go check out your little project, Ra!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
I am hoping this new Castle will not take me quite so long as some of the others have... or cause me the head banging and hair pulling that Haunts Castle did!
Thanks Yanti! I am determined to get this at least somewhat close to the real Castle!
Eeehhhhh it's kind of scary how the building sucks me back in... I spent most of my evening at work impatiently watching the clock because I desperately wanted to get back home and continue building!
The fairie pool looks very nice! It looks very nice how you have done the plants and rocks, and that you have placed a waterfall there. The windows on the turret look great!
Whew! I am exhausted but managed to get some work accomplished on the Castle tonight. I wanted to get as much as possible done now because my next week of work is going to be busy with not much of a chunk of time to devote to building. :?
It was great that you were able to find diagrams of Dunvegan Castle! Your layout of the castle interior looks great! Great shell of the build! The Fairie tower looks great! It looks great that you have placed a flag with the Clan Tartans on the roof.
I hope that your working week next week goes okay in the midst of it being busy.

Dunvegan gets it's own Fairie pool!

No build progress yet today... maybe later this evening. :?
I do have a Creator's update which covers the extensive factual history and legends of Dunvegan Castle along with some music to enjoy while reading it!

Dunvegan depiction from around 1350
An interesting medieval depiction of Dunvegan Ceremonial cup, which you can find out more about on the blog.
Eleanor's Journal: Dunvegan Castle progress... Found some floor plans of the Castle to follow, so finally we ventured inside to do some work! Plus, Yay, we finally put some windows in!
