Palace Interior (2) - Entrance Hall

I've finished the first of my palace interior rooms, the entrance hall (as shown in http://tidders-kingdomofwittenberg.blogspot.com/2009/08/palace-interior-1-initial-tryout-rooms.html ). I had great fun with this room, the stairs took a bit of working out but it came right as you can see. I used the same tile paper for the main floor on all the steps and the upper landing. I kept the pink decor (saved repainting the walls) as it does really go well with the black and white tiles. Pictures were reduced and stuck to cardbrorad and the gold frames painted on. So now for some pictures - a view looking into the middle of the hall; the garde suisse are on duty as they guard the closed doors to the royal appartments.

The King and Queen have come out to see how their new portraits look now they have been hung in the hall, first the King looks at his ...

and the Queen looks at hers ..
