Page A-40 Shelton—Mason County Journal — Thursday, Oct. 7, 2021 For portcullis verticals, use five full-length round toothpicks. Flip the building over, carefully (you might need tweezers) poke them through both parts of the Styrofoam and glue in place. Cut shorter lengths for the portcullis horizontals and the windows, poke them into both sides of the Styrofoam and glue in. With an old brush, paint the inner frames of the window cut outs of the top tower with glue. Carefully place the stained glass windows you made. Hold in place with your fingers, masking'tape, or Clothespins until dry. Paint glue around the edge of the other side of the window and let dry. Use a detail brush to paint black leading/glazing along the outside edge, and along each color change in the art. Let dry. Turn the tea light on and put it inside. '. *7 Use an old brush to spread a liberal amount of glue, one side of the structure at a time, and then place the rock details on randomly, Follow up by flocking with sand, shaking off the excess. Repeat for the other sides, and for the top tower. Let dry. While it’s drying, you can make a quick drawbridge out of five cut down craft sticks and a couple of flat toothpicks. They say a man’s (or woman's) home is his (or her) castle. Personalize yours as you see fit. Shown here is the castle along with water and trees from earlier Crafty Time features. in the background is a tower I made previously, along with the archer figures (1/35th scale). Mix some glue, water and sand into your black paint. Coat the entire exterior in black. Let dr'y. Next, paint the raised surfaces in grey using the same method. Let dry. Pick out the high spots and paint white. Let dry. Paint the exterior doors and drawbridge brown. Mix brown and green to paint the base around the bottom of the castle — it's okay to be sloppy and get a bit on the lower rocks — this will add realism. Add details as you see fit. What would you like to see next in Crafty Time? Our village now has a formidable castle as its center complete with m‘oat and if drawbridge.
