I've chosen to make a model based on Stokesay Castle (Shropshire), it's really a moated manor house. It was garrisoned in the civil war. A picture of the gatehouse.
More pictures are available on line. A plan of the castle:
I've decided to call my castle Pokesay. The model itself will be quite large (18" x 24") or something like that. I'm planning to scratch build all the structures and the walls. The moat will be a challenge to do as well.
I must be nuts !!

Allan,
For the moat, if it were me, I'd simply use paint . . . then build a small berm on the land side.
That small raised area should be enough to give the visual impression that the moat is below ground level . . . at least that's the theory.
Good luck with your project.

PS, I'm still waiting for my S&S samples to arrive.

I agree, you must be nuts :> But I look forward to seeing it anyway. Also, you'll want to delete that first post by akinogal, it's a spam.
Jeff
thanks for the ideas for the moat
