Thinking towards the future,and opponents for my Mongol Army,I ordered a plastic Medieval Castle on Tuesday at 7.30pm,and the bloody thing arrived at 11.00am on Wednesday!!!-how about that for service?
All the way from the Ukraine-156 parts!!-I was never any good at making kits when I was a youngster,so this was going to be a challenge!! however at £18.50. including p&p I can't grumble.
Armed with the instructions,a Stanley knife and a tube of hard plastic glue,I was off and running!!!
Things are starting to happen now,but some parts were ridiculously "fiddly",not helped by not fitting properly(requiring some knife-work!!),but I've put together some Ikea flat packs,so this wasn't going to beat me,or affect my sanity!!
After lots of "bad language" and lots of ingenuity(mainly getting things square) I have managed to get the main bits done and assembled to a reasonable standard,and my sanity is not at risk-yet!!
According to the instructions,this is how it should look...............................
This is how mine looks!!-I have deliberately left off things like stairways and gates and portcullis,drawbridge etc. because I will be using this for wargaming and not as a"look at" model!!(that sounds like an excuse for not being able to be bothered!!)
I cut card to put inside the top perimeter,so that I can eventually stand figures in the castle..
Card in place,but what of my sanity????-well,
You judge!!!!!!!
