Long time no see my friend!
Cheers

Cheers mate, as for now, i am planning to have a fountain in the middle, front of the chateau, the gardens and few civilian aristocrats near the palace including louis XV, the troops will be surrounding the chateau while the household cavalry march in front of the palace while the King reviews it.
These have been already ordered .

Still working on the entrance, from i will keep it as simple as it comes to a more complex , but nothing like adding "grandeur" to these already snobby Frenchies lol.
I added some putty on the stair's base, cutted the bottom of few toothpicks and added as part of the rails, added two short columns and round finials, finally, i was not happy with the middle semi-round section andngot the idea of cutting one of the historex basr, perfect fit and lenght, sanded and added as a finishing leap .

in one way or another, the historex always serve

Thanks guys

I have finished the stairs , primed and painted the 2 cases in a pale stone yellow.

Can't wait to have this Chateau done, lot sof details but i am having a blast.

The 2nd floor and roof are almost done, then i will have to do the weathering and details

Beautiful beautiful work.

Thanks Mark!

Chateau it's almost done, still lots of small details to be taken care off.
I added some plants/flowers in front of the entrance...

I bought the base today and assemble the columns and iron fence, i will seal it and prime it later.

I am working on adding some detail at the entrance gate, i have used spare parts from a fence and door and designed the "crown" portion of the gate, i think it will give a nice look.

I am alnost finished with these Gardes Suisses, 1 of them will be inside the entrance door of the chateau, 2 others will be with the swiss officers outside the Chateau.
I will have a garde Francaise guarding the outside of the entry door.
Traditionallly the French guarded the outside whike the swiss the inside.

Such beautiful work.

Thanks Marco
