Castle diorama - an epic scratch build!

This was my lengthiest project yet and is inspired by castles I visited in Wales on holiday as a child. This is 1/76 scale but might interest Warhammer enthusiasts. The final photos were taken in the Dartmouth area before and after sunset.
This diorama gave me the opportunity to work with a balsa wood, WWS stones, Woodland Scenics resin, tints & ripples, Gaugemaster lighting and, of course, a range of static grass and scatters from WWS, Woodland Scenics and Gaugemaster to create the scene.
