there is no back, it will fit up against a wall like this. and this is more or less how the paint will look. were gong to try out some other stuff, but we wont be drybrushing or anything like that.

thanks man, your color mock up was very useful to us!

**Jermbo** · October 23, 2011, 03:25pm

That is simply bad ass. Gr8 job.

**Ulisses31** · October 23, 2011, 03:52pm

Love the sculpt, but it needs some black and the swamp needs more color detail...

**FakeEyes22** · October 23, 2011, 04:23pm

That is a fantastic color choice! I also really like that the additional paint is limited to some nicely done subtle shading a details. It really lets the amazing sculpt speak for itself and it really reminds me of how all 80s playsets of this type were done.

I'll repeat myself from months ago and say that I am a huge fan of all of the design choices that went into this. It's as if the interactivity and display area you usually find inside of a playset has all been pushed right out the front door and it all works incredibly well.

A tiny detail I love: There's an even number of teeth, unlike a pair of castles I'm looking at right now with an odd number and no gap to explain how this happened.

When you're ready to PM details about this, count me in among the curious. I want to have an entire neighborhood of green skull castles.

**Jon-O** · October 23, 2011, 04:26pm

Came out beautifully!

Hello Ben !

In the end what type of material did you used to make it ?

By the way

amazing !

**BadVermin** · October 23, 2011, 09:11pm

I'm already planning on giving a lot of love to my own custom paint job. The fortress is going to look like aged copper with a green patina.

Here are some concepts for the bottom section. Right now my faves are the brown rocks/blue water and purple rocks/mud. The red for the liquid color looks great, but feels more like a snake spire than a fortress.

This thing is like a dream come true, love it.

Wow man. I love it when you do these color mock ups. They look great. You can imagine if we chose something that wild most people would have our heads for veering too far from gray skulls orig. colors. But I honk these look really cool man. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Bondo boatyard resin with paper pulp fiber.

**Neo** · October 24, 2011, 02:28am

**Dark Sorceress** · October 24, 2011, 04:38am
