'500 Years After The Siege'

The first image I made with the help of Hexagon. This is another Daz product which, in theory, should allow you to make complex objects from scratch. It's so difficult to use, however, and I'm such a dunce that I haven't got much out of it. I mainly use it for modifying existing models, usually by hacking bits off. Like here, where I kicked off the back of a gatetower so only the facade remained. Sounds easy, though knocking down an actual fort would probably have been quicker. I was inspired by Welsh castles like Cricceth where there is a big fuck-off gate and virtually nothing behind them. And their contrast, Harlech, which has opened its doors to any approaching army and consequently is still largely intact. The two tiny figures are supposed to be tourists parodying attacking & defending troops, though you can't really see them well enough.
