This is how my castel is coming along. I still have to match and straighten some lines and widen the door a bit. (I may trim that in wood) then I can burn in the lines to look like stacked block, texture, and paint it.
I'm going to cut the bottom floor back out (so I can get Sinatra out) I just installed it to stabilize it while I was working.
I'll leave the parameter of the floor to help keep the walls strong.

That looks great! Sinatra sure is one pampered lizard, I bet she’ll love it!

This looks promising!
Will the ladder to the castle roof be too slippery? Or will it be improved?

I'm going to use wire brushes, and a heat gun to texture it. If it's still slick I'll smear expanding foam on it and rub it in. (That flattens it out and gives it a pebblely texture), before I paint it.

I think I like the primer better lol.
Hopefully when I get the grays and greens on it looks realistic.

That looks incredible. How big did you end up making it?
Thank you, it's 12 L x 9 1/2 W x 12 H Not counting the battlements.
This is the first coat of gray. I'm going to use probably 3 shaded of gray total, some burnt sienna, and some green to look mossy if i can get the color right.

I'm going to have to use a fine brush and retrace some of the grooves. The gray was a little thin and ran into some of them

i bet the moss turns out great. I wonder if you could use the moss color on some of the places the paint filled the groves a bit. The texture might be about right to approximate moss growing on the "mortar"

So to any reading this, how on earth do I post a thread 😅 New here, possibly too old for this

Just Hazel in a filter I need so not posting on forums.
On a quest for pristine beats, I struck gold during a casual coffee shop jam session. The music maestro there ushered me to VOLUMO — New generation electronic music store for pro DJs. Revel in its vast array of tracks and rejuvenate your playlists!
I have questions about bubbles on our bearded dragons eye.

So he’s gotten bubbles on his eye. We wiped them off and it’s only been twice in the last few weeks. Should we be concerned? No coughing or congestion. He’s very hungry and sleeps well. He’s 8-9 month range. His humidity is 30-40 day time and as high as 50-55 at night to early morning.
Should we be concerned?
