Plate 63: Constructing the Black Castle, Part 29: the battlement is finished, but the Black Castle is not yet black!
(This plate added MAR 2004)
|
Here we see the Black Castle in an advanced state of construction. The crenellated battlment extends around both bastions, the entrance arch has been decorated with ornamental molding, and the entire battlement is supported upon corbels.
Is anything missing? Yes! --more-- |

In Plate 35, the Advisory Aesthetician asked the Artisan about an appropriate color for the new castle (see transcript of conversation). Dull black was the color decided upon.
The accompanying photo shows a pressurized spray-can of non-gloss black enamel standing in front of the right bastion. The next step is to remove the castle to a ventilated area (such as an outdoor porch) and thoroughly spray-paint the entire model with the dull black enamel. Go to top of page |
