The latest issue of Wizards of the Coast's electronic version of the old D&D magazine Dragon, now called Dragon+, Number 11, has just been published. The magazine can be downloaded free here for mobile use (IOS or Android), or you can read it free online. On Page 19 is a feature from the archives of the original printed Dragon magazine from issue 86, published in June 1984, about a cardboard fantasy castle model, Great Stoney Castle, by Arthur Collins. The original magazine came with the castle pieces printed in colour on four card sheets, along with instructions in the article, some background notes, and full floor plans (which are more complex than the to-build castle, due to modelling constraints). The Dragon+ article contains a link so you can download a freshly scanned version of the article and printable model sheets, again for free, as a PDF. I'm not sure what the scale is, I suspect non-standard, to get it to fit the size of the card sheets, and it's a relatively simple model overall, with box buildings, walls, etc., with the battlements only textured on the outer side, as they're just a single thickness of card. Doubtless folks here will be able to remedy that if they so choose!

I did, but didn't build it yet. Printing the sheets in A3 format did the trick, not exact scale, but very believable.

They seem to be working for me. PM me your email and I'll download them tonight after work and send BTW, it isn't the whole Nottingham castle. I wonder if I can figure out what was left out and use his textures to do the missing parts Quite a bit left out

Most of the walls of the Nottinghan castle are repeats. What is missing is the keep.

Sorry about the health issues. We'll be here when you can drop by ... unless the Angry Bear strikes again (when Proboards has a problem, they blame it on an angry bear, which happened last night)
