Hello I,m 13 years old. I've been getting home everyday without anything to do by finishing homerwork so quickly and with my intrest in medevil times i was gonna pose a project on myself,to build a castle. I wanted to use just the materials maybe more if nescery
clay
popsicle sticks
dirt
string
wood
and a little wire and papermache
(also the nesceites like scissor, glue,etc.)
I've got easy acces to all this materil but cant find the type of castle i wanna do...I've looked through many files and floorplans that i could find in all the other post. I wanted to make something of my own but be a lot like the fantasy version of arthur's castle.I wanted it to be about 3'by 3' size including a moat and outer wall. I guss the name of the caslte would be a citadel. and if i could maybe on how to build the walls a floor plan and maybe a square or pentagon shaped outer wall a castle design courtyard and all other detail.I'm gonna go into as much detail possible with my materials so if u got any ideas on how to construct certain parts or a castle design plz tell me dont email me most likely i wont get the email. thank you. ------------------

Could you post a link to the 'fantacy version of Arthur's castle', as I don't know which one you are referring to.
If you want to call it a citadel, then it should be of arab design, such as the Moorish ones in Spain. Citadels did not have keeps, so if you want a keep, it must be alter addition to a citadel or you will need to go for a European castle.
When you say you want an outer wall, does that mean you want an inner and outer, that is, two sets of walls?Erik |

Conwy Castle (sometimes splet by English folks as Conway) in Wales might be a good bet? | |
