Building the Tower




Making a model of the tower using cardboard. Not sure how it will work out, just an experiment. Is it too big compared to the trees? Might need to remake the trees.


No idea how I'm going to paint or cover it. I want it to have the detail of the real building. Could possibly make brick shapes from stone-coloured card and stick them on? Or paint the whole thing? Remember scale and proportions when adding the details, you can't read the writing or see the individual bricks from that far way.


It looks too long. How am I going to make the hill?


Putting a little torch inside to make the light. Want to know what this looks like in the dark!

Shining the torch from the back gave a really weird effect. The box I used for cardboard was starry-patterned (Christmas rubbish) so when the torch is shone behind the card, you can see the tiny stars light up through the tape. Accidental magic!
