I made 3 rectangle boxes out of corrugated card and got 3 cling flim tube cut down as shown.
This is how I dived my cardboard tube, you can do it how you want and play with the amount box and tube you use.
This is how to draw out a template for your boxes, the four corners have tabs for gluing.
Cut out with Stanley knife, safety rule and score folds to bend.
On tabs peel back some of the card to make it thinner and then glue tab.
Reaping the same process as with boxes cut and score folds, plus thin tabs.
Then glue parts as desired with glue gun.
Parts glued to together.
Then I covered the castle with black tissue paper and 50%water and 50%P.V.A MIX.
Make roofs for towers.
To make tower roofs draw around a circled object bigger enough for your towers.
Cut out circles and glue together as shown.
Then I made some turrets by drawing lengths of 1 inch strips dived them into 2cm grid. Then cutting 1inch strips and turrets as in image.
Gluing them on as shown.
Then with a yellow posca paint pen I drew on the windows.
With windows and turrets
Then painted the roofs grey with a dry brush effect so some black come thorough.
Then a little deep green dry brushed on in places.
Then repeat with a little brown on top for moss.
Then add some gold dry brushing with wax or paint.
Make a door fold paper in half draw half a door and cut.
Add door and draw out lines all around turrets windows and door as shown.
One spooky castle ready for Halloween.
How to make the Rock….
Main rock made from corrugated cardboard.
The large rock sides are segments of card with scored line in ti to bend, glued on with a glue gun.
The same with next parts of the rock.
Then added random bits of card in segments to rock face.
Making a bendy zig zag road down the rock.
Then add layers of card as shown to fill out rock.
Keep going till fully pack out under roads.
Then add side as supports plus hill side.
Detail of suport, I gave it layers for depth.
When happy with all additions I paper mached with blake tissue paper and 50%water 50%P.V.A
One rock ready for castle.
Castle on Rock Spooky Nights.
