      Very simple model, I just thought it might be interesting for some people πŸ˜„

      The tower looks like that because it was "half" blasted.

      12th/13th century:

        Hi Aerilius,

        I know (well, suspect) that you have more to show. Would you mind if I moved this into the Gallery (where it truly belongs no matter it is a "GE model") and you could then add some more explanation as well as some images and maybe renders (if you made any already)?

        You know this is my favourite stuff! πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘


        BTW the reconstruction seems to be sunken a bit (for the time being):

        Gai...

          Cool!

          So you're posting this stuff to Google Earth?

            He's got a whole bunch of them. Current state and reconstruction (some with nice, interactive tours)

            Gai...

              Fixed! (How could I miss to check it in GE? πŸ˜’ )

              You can move it to the galery if you like.

              I have not (yet) more, I just used the opportunity that I had finished the current state of the castle.
              Then I constructed it from the drawing and create some textures in Gimp (normal wall/roof textures + windows + dirt; no renders).

              I hope the reconstruction will be accepted too (in a not too far future). Maybe some good renders will pass as "proof of existence"? (Once I had nearly convinced a Googler... πŸ˜„ )

                So still there is some special treatment of the textures (will need some extra explanations - I still use your generously shared materials from the Limburg Monastery) πŸ‘

                Once a 14rh century reconstruction of a Church I made (now there is a 16th century Turkish mosque in place) was accepted by Google. Then I had to appeal so that they removed.
                πŸ˜„


                Okay, so I am moving it... And of course, will have a look at the fixed model! πŸ˜„
