Quick and easy, you can knock out a 15cm tall tower in a couple of hours.
Some 3cm insulating board and a drill with a hole cutting set. best a set with fine teeth or bend the teeth flat, ie; they don´t stick out either side of the stel ring.
As this will be another "rapunzel" tower I´ve used ever decreasing sizes of discs. Behind the tower is some 5cm Blue insulating foam. The tower is made using another type of foam, a pinky white stuuf which is a bit harder than the blue sort.
The discs are then glued together using woodglue and cocktailsticks between each layer. Shave of the edges to give a flat surface and then sand it all smooth with sand paper.
Using a biro, mark in the stonework. Here I´ve used the blunt end of a pencil to push the foam back to give an "aged look"
The Rapunzel tower in the film has got plaster covered sides. To do this I´ve covered the areas outside of the stonework with woodglue and rolled the tower in sand.
When everything is dried (this you can speed up by using a hairdryer) Paint :-DHello to Lou. I know you have a blog...I´ve looked at it but your google friends connect isn´t set..
