I thinj that i printed it at 1.700 to smaller as it turned out at 210mm in lenght when in fact it should have been 275mm.
Already drawn where the windows are so that my mini drill can cut out and then paint evan though it was smaller than i have expected.

anyway will have to re print.

HI All T guage fans

Just re did the Conway Castle in right gauge now

Please take a look.

ps got more inner detail on it now rather than seperate modeling for it.

will keep you in formed.

Just now need to glue both together to make one model and then paint it.

Thank you for your comment it means a lot if I am doing ok or not, but thats modeling for you.

Great stuff Graham, looks terrific. Will you fill it with tourists, Charlie's investiture or damsels in distress (or even railway enthusiasts taking pics of the track below)?

Wrong castle, I'm afraid!

Charlie was "done" in Caernarfon.

With over 600 castles to choose from, I know it can be confusing to remember which Welsh castle is which! And seeing as Charlie's do was just under 49 years ago...and his acne had only just cleared up, I think we can let you off.....

Thanks Doug. Just a converted colonial (not convict). Should have remembered as I was in Caernarfon last year. So, damsels in distress it is?
