"Since I have the towers, why not try to build something bigger?" I thought. So, here it is, the Keep as a work in progress. The basic material is a box of my youngest daughter's shoes. This, together with a couple of statues from "Ruins of Osgiliath" set, a spare door from a previous tower and a pair of strange earrings!
The Keep WIP
The shoe box with foam to support its "walls"
"Open" the door
The spare parts
The superstructure is ready
I covered all the walls with plaster
I used balsa wood for the roof
and the earrings for lanterns

The door and the Osgiliath statues
As I see it now, I think the door is wrong. I have to place the hinges of the door from the other side of the wall to hide them from the enemies!
In the meantime, I visited the nice city Porto of Portugal. Below you can see its cathedral and the churchyard sight-seeings. Enjoy!

That's it for today! Stay tuned for more!
What a wonderful bit of scratch builing. The earrings are a great find!
