BUILDING LALLYBROCH

I had made a small stone castle keep for my Cornish harbour layout using foamboard coated with DAS clay, on which I scribed the stonework. Lallybroch is about four times as big and, though the size would present its own problems, I’m not a big fan of making windows. Compared to my original castle’s six, Lallybroch has 38!

It was, in fact, slightly daunting but the beginning of construction coincided with the start of the lockdown and a long, slow building project seemed like a good idea. Here’s how I tackled the main shell of the building.
