G'Day & Welcome to the Great Southern Land and to a top forum......
There are quite a few members from across the USA and the rest of the world.....
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
Especially a top mob of blokes on the toymaking & scale modeling section of the forum.
Make sure you show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP [Work In Progress] photos with build notes.
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodwork.....
Cheers from On Top DownUnder, crowie

PS - Please show your Model Castle in the toymaking section of the forum, thank you

Welcome..

1/32nd scale, that's going to be an impressive model! If I remember correctly, the keep of Dover Castle in Kent, England is about 100 feet square and 80odd feet high, with walls up to 20feet thick. At 1/32nd scale a model of Dover Castle (just the keep!) wouldn't fit through a standard sized Australian door!!

I'll need to rethink scale and think about "short"cuts for sure. Dimensions may have to be malleable. :)
