It is done. Central tower/gate – Hirst Arts Turret Tower mold and Traveler's Bridge mold plus Gothic basic bricks. Wooden gates are bass wood. Cobblestone is heavy textured paper. Base is a 5mm pressboard. Walls are pink insulation foam. Bases are 3mm thick PVC Rigid foam. This was a fun/time-consuming project, but it's ready for 3 different conventions this year! GaryCon, Little Wars and GenCon. Front view:

@whitphoto – the walls are very light, being foam and PVC rigid foam is light. The HA towers and gates, I would guess ~3-5lbs, maybe? Definitely not much more. @shaun – thank you! |

Nice work! I've used Hirst Arts elements in quite a few projects, but only as detail elemetns. I'll always respect anyone with the patience to cast and build entire structures from them. |

Thank you! @ordinarybass – I bought these as kits and assembled them from blocks that someone else had cast. This was from CastleKits.com (although their website is TangoUniform at the moment, I guess…) My next project will be my own cast. Hirst Arts are like Legos for adults. They are really addictive to put together… |
