Constructing The Red Keep


Welcome to my second Game of Thrones 3D puzzle! This time I'm constructing the Red Keep and I'm going to do more of a step by step set of posts to give you a better idea of how it goes together, as it is hard to explain clearly!

After completing the base last time, I moved on to constructing the high tower and surrounding buildings. These are the flat pieces for the tower, which become the 3D tower and I put it on the base as shown.




I then worked on a couple of the side buildings which were easy to construct. I put the three buildings onto the base, joining them together. It's amazing how adding three pieces can make it look like real progress has been made! I made a couple of turrets and a small building to go on top of the tower.



There are six buildings which make up the next section of the project. These photos show how they look flat, constructed individually and then how they fit against the other buildings at the rear of the base.

    1. There are tons of turrets, buildings and gates to do so a lot more work to come. I'm excited about the construction!

    1. I've found it to be so much fun and the sense of satisfaction as each bit is completed is great! I'm now looking at 3D jigsaw puzzles of diagon alley...
