KEEP trial decore

The 'Magic Block' has yet to be applied to the exterior walls, then I can decorate in earnest.
BUT, I've been so anxious to get to that point that I keep trying out possible decore - - here
is the latest trial interior:






Of course, this means I have to keep taking the stuff out and put it aside while I do the serious finishing work.  The crenallations need to be painted and applied, the Magic Block applied, then the final exterior finish - -  wood strips glued to the rough edges of the floors and tower.

Oh, and I think I need to make a trap door for the opening on the top floor.

finished the top floor, now the lower 3 floors need the wall finished and then it's applying the 'Magic Block' to the outside walls.

My window solution worked.  Just hope that it holds up.  I cut the window film to show the pattern I wanted, then fit the pieces between the backing I'd made and the window carved into the wall. 
Here's how it looks on the interior - -




the first picture shows the template I made with the film behind it and the second picture shows the way it looks on the exterior.
Not bad.

Set up the Castle Keep project on the patio table because there's just no work space in my craft room.  The kit is heavy and awkward.

The ladders, ceiling beams & braces are all stained.  Made & stained 2 railings for stair openings.




I think I solved the problem of disguising the application of the Gothic window film.  

This is how the finished window is supposed to look. 
I made a template of the back out of a very thin ply and painted it with the stone-paint.  I'll put the film between the window and the template and hope it works out.
