This 'old guy' is only for scale, the column on middle is an alternative option

For ruins - vegetation and maybe tree - on middle.

And next project

The Gate looks TERRIFIC as does the center thing in the fountain. GREAT STUFF!

May force be with you...

COOL STUFF! I really like the Tower & Wall piece. AND, as a Fellow Tree Maker, I can appreciate your Woods work. GREAT WORK!  

Thanks DN.
It will be a part of something a little more big

Even with just after a few posts I can easily say you're one of the best artists when it comes to bricks and stonework on foam. Your work is outstanding!

By the way, what colours did you use for the bricks? They look extremely realistic!

Joao

Love the ruins! The trees and castle walls look intriguing...

Looks great!

Thanks for kind words guys

I've usually mix the paint, that's depend of project. For bricks I've used dark brown base,
after that - two mixed colours (from Louvre palette - first layer[drybrush]: Burnt Sienna+JapaneseRed;
second: BurntSienna+JapaneseRed+SaharaYellow).

Next goes white wash - to get in the gap and softly change the colour of bricks.
Finally, gently touch some bricks of second layer paint and black.

And that's how I make my bricks(note guys - I've done bricks first time)

Still working on...

The Walls & Tower are coming along SPLENDIDLY...that is a FINE way of making a Tower. The doors have a proper old fortress look to them. GREAT WORK!  

That is one very very cool semi-ruined wall! Looking forward to seeing it painted!

Awesome man, you´re quite a terrainmaker, love it!

that is looking very good! It reminds me to build some fantasy terrain on my own again.

Excellent work!

Awesome! Thanks for the info on the paintwork for the bricks!

The fortification is looking amazing indeed. I love the way you've mastered the stonework with the foam - each single bit of the building looks unique, as opposed to so many plastic kits where everything is even and neat.
I'll be curious to see how you will create the base for the wall.

How did you do the small dots on the doors? Is it just painted glue?
I've tried to work with small round pieces of plasticcard, but it gets too fiddly.
A Punching machine was the best I could get, but the holes are to big. And if you use too much pressure, you've got a real hole and not iron rivets

Thanks for comments

Yes, dots are made of white glue. Under the cap is a little thicker (if you do not use long or you no turn the bottle up side down)

OUTSTANDING PROGRESS! That looks WONDERFUL...especially the wooden tower section. Keep up the FINE WORK!  

Simply amazing! I really admire your Paintjob on the brickwork - it looks very realistic!

May I ask how you came about warping the foam around the cardboard cylinders? I tend to crack mine when I attempt to do it.. 

Keep up the very nice work! 

It keeps getting better and better with each update! Nicely done!

My strips are about 4 mm. First, it bends in the hands then I stick to the model
