The Siege of Scarborough Castle 1645

[cph64]

Can't wait to hear the history behind this scenario.

Crazy!

Look who is talking - "How hard can it be?".

Has your day release from that hospital expired yet?
Intriguing, yet mind blowing detail and skills.
Cheers,
Prisoner/guest Cell 33 (next to yours)

The progress is quite slow, here we are to date.

History wise, The Siege of Hull was the first major action of the Civil War in 1642.
As Hull was a Royal Arsenal, King Charles 1 wanted to hold the city, but was denied entry.

Will you be making the "Plotting Parlour" in Ye Olde White Heart pub down Silver Street next
Many a lunch I have  had in that room when I was at college, doing my marine examinations - the sausage sandwiches where excellent.
Now will I be a model on the city gate sticking 2 fingers up to the King - or are you keeping the model more accurate and demure

Always demure but never accurate.

Brick by brick you build your castle , this time the royalists won't give you no hassle. 
Looking great Zak.

Sometimes, I just wonder why?
Groundworks started.
Why do I think I have bitten off more than I can chew?

[chriswil42]

Good start to the moat.

[zak]

Scenery coming along slowly.
All that brickwork still to paint!

[MSea]

Will be excellent when you finished - and a happy Haddock ( it has water in it)

Might even be a little boat sailing past??

The odd duck perhaps.

How about a shark or some piranhas - that would keep the King out.
