View inside the Keep
One wall of the Keep hinges open to show the inside.
The Great Hall
The centre of the castle is the Great Hall, with a fine roaring fireplace and a sturdy door that may be bolted against intruders. A rich tapestry decorates one wall.
Below the Great Hall is the Dungeon (and the resident ghost).
Sir George's Dragon
The "Dragon Hide" is made from lychee skin ! When dried and flattened, it gives a very realistic (sic) spikey purple hide effect.
Small details, such as the wall torches, are made from Fimo polymer clay and pipe-cleaner flames.
Inside the Solar
Above the Great Hall is the Solar, a less formal room where the noble family might live.
It has a rug on the floor, more windows to make it light and airy, and some detailing to the wood panelled ceiling.
Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall
The mirror is out-of-character for most castles, but would seem essential for "Sleeping Beauty" Wicked Queens.
It's made from a sliver of CD-ROM.
Early plumbing
Naturally there's a garderobe (roof removable for photos). A quiet spot, to read the daily scrolls.
For hygiene, it's out at one corner of the castle, away from the keep.
Inside the dungeons are bare stone walls and a single small window, high up and out of reach. Chains in the walls can hold Playmobil figures captive.
In the future, I may make some torture devices !
