Hello Werdegast!
First of all, welcome to the Comeback Inn!
If you have the time later, feel free to introduce yourself in the
Hello Thread!
May I also say though, that I just LOVE what you are doing with this model!
Castle Blackmoor was indeed
based on Brandzoll Castle. I don't know what would be best of parapets and a roof. I even tried to create a 3D model where I wanted to combine the features of Bradzoll and the castle depicted on
the cover of the OD&D Supplement II at one point, but I never managed to make it good enough to be worth sharing.
Please post updates on this project!
Have you been making other models as well?
Are you currently running a Blackmoor campaign?

Thanks for the encouragement.
I was working on a simple Sketchup model but it is very rough. This is the first foam core and first Sketchup model I have tried.
Earlier in the summer I started DMing for my sons (5 and 9). It was the first time I have played in probably fifteen or sixteen years.
So far we have only been playing some short dungeon crawls.

Very cool. I like that you start with Blackmoor. I also tried using Sketchup, but I have no talent for physical model building. What I tried to do was basically to make the towers longer so that the silhouette might resemble this:

That is great!
Think they are up for the dungeons of Castle Blackmoor, or the Temple of the Frog any time soon?

I have been trying to get my nephews interested but so far no luck.
Is anyone ever ready for Temple of the Frog?

Hehe, good point :twisted:
What were your previous dungeon crawls about then? Did you include any Blackmoor-ish weirdness?
Did you have a big baddie?
What was the party like?
