Building a tower

A couple months ago, using a chocolate powder can (which is tall and slender - very fitting for a tower) I made this medieval tower model. 

The materials I used were:

- The tin can

- Mask tape (to cover the metal surface of the can)

- Clay (to make the tiles. The clay sticks to the mask tape easily)

- Glue (plastic glue, so that the tiles are better fixed, and to add a thin transparent coat on them, just to keep them in place)

- toothpicks (to help make the top of the tower and its battlements)

- metal wire (to shape the round top of the tower)

- popsicle sticks (to make the floor on the top of the tower)

The tower almost finished, with the clay bricks already sculpted. I used a hobby knife to trace the brick outlines on the clay surface (in the background another "tower" I made using the same process but using a towel paper roll. It will become a mill or something like that)

The round top of the tower. The floor is made of popsicle sticks glued together then sawed in a round shape. I then drilled roles with a small hand drill and placed toothpicks around. Then I wraped wire and glued paper to make a round "wall" were the battlements would be placed.

The top of the tower completed with clay, the bricks and battlements already sculpted.

Another view of the top of the tower. The Archers are just for reference. The tuna can in the background was used to help shaping the round wooden floor!

The tower set, with 3 landsknecths arquebusiers already on watch!

Now all that is left to do  is to decide if I will paint the tower or not (I kinda liked this  "earthy" clay tone), and which collor will it it be.

I also need to make a door and a few windows (probably out of cardboard paper).

So far this tower has been sitting on my bookshelf for a few months, waiting a game and/or to be finished.
