Thanks to you LSC folks, I decided to build a small platform-type station to serve tourists visiting the castle. Here’s how it looks so far.

There’s a bit more to do. I need to texture the foam under the platform to resemble stones. Then I need to do some touch-up painting. Then I need to add a stake to the bottom–here in Kansas most of my buildings have a 8"-12" stake under them to keep them from flipping in the wind. Even the largest structures will turn over when the winds are gusting to 60

Anyway, thought I’d post my progress on this little side project and say thanks for the inspiration/ideas.

I can see the platform taking off with that type of roof!

Looks Great!

We have those all over here, seems they put solar on those… add rechargeable batteries, a light sensor and leds to light up the castle at night. Some out side to show 'er off! (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)

Good job, I like the detail on the supports.

Looking good.

I also like the detail on the roof supports.

Now that the tourists will be coming you will need to build a ticket booth, a snack bar and a gift shop
