It's not just an Englishman's home who's his castle, sometimes it's a Samurai as well.
I do like a castle and whilst the large sprawling castles of this period aren't going to be useful in Test of Honour for me a smaller more modest construction will be. I got this one from Oshiro Models and as I described earlier I was lucky to have James who runs the show reach out and help me make my vision a reality.
It has taken me a little while to get around to this one but having painted up the village (also from James) very recently I had a scheme to work with and it all came together over a week. It's not the best or neatest paint-job but I think produces a good overall effect for the table.
I did make two additions to the original model for the tower, both 3D printed. Firstly I added a piece to the bottom of the big roof section to make it sit snuggly on top of the bottom floor.
The original model is designed to have some banisters around the top most tower, which look great but stop you putting any based models at the top. So I designed a quick tower caddy to pop the top most piece in to give space to put models on. Again, with this one I put a piece underneath to sit inside the lower room and aid stability.
Now it's ready to repel raiders or perhaps be a vantage point for sneaky Ninja's!
