Castle Maureen

Here's the finished roombox:

The castle is made entirely of builders foam, carved and painted to look like stone.

...except for the windows which are created by Angela Downton in the UK.

A view into the throne room.

Even the fireplace is made of foam...

All that's left to do is order the plexiglass cover.

I have one more castle roombox to make; this is one of the windows that will go into it

and again the laser cut window frame is a Downton original.

And then I'll enter the latest Greenleaf contest. I really hadn't meant to do this because like most miniaturists, I have a room full of kits that need assembling and had really planned to finish some of them during the summer.

I've bought the sales front, and the greenhouse as well,
planning on turning this into a roadside stand/market garden. I have some ideas for doing trompe d'oeil work on the inside of the store and greenhouse. This is something new for me that I've long admired but never attempted.
As for the front, I thought of a dusty roadside stand typical of the early to mid 20th century.
However as a friend so kindly reminded me, the garage that I started out with during the 2010 SpringFling, ended up as a fishing hut instead...
