For my final post of October 2024 I have included this fantasy tower that was inspired by the cover of a novel that I saw in a shop window in Bruge last year.
But first I should repeat that all of the images posted this month are sketches done by me for the purposes of scratch building models for the wargame table or my narrow gauge railway layouts. I have many, many books full of such drawings and have in fact been adding to these during this month when I have been taking part in my own version of Inktober - drawing an image a day for the month of October.
This particular tower was seen on the front cover of a fantasy novel in a toy and book shop in Bruge. I spent some time studying the image while in the shop and then went outside to try and copy the tower from memory, as you can image this was not that successful. However as I stood outside with my sketchbook I saw that the same book was in fact on display in the window! This made it much easier to copy, although I sometimes wonder what the shopkeeper or passers by thought of me sketching book covers through a shop window.
I hope you have enjoyed these sketches and would welcome any comments or suggestions as to what model should be next on my schedule to build. Also if you have used any of the images to build your own wargame terrain, I would love to see them.
Happy Halloween
Tony
