Palace - other views...

I have a two other elevations for the palace based on drawings of a couple of stateley homes, that I can setup..

The rear of the palace (based on Holkham hall), where the gardens and fountain are (I have seem to misplaced some of the garden pieces)

The side of the palace facing the lake (based on Wilton House); also doubles as the Duke of Fenwick's residence

 

Palace Rebuild (3)... All done...

The palace parts now re-assembled into two sections for ease of storage...

---oXo---

The surveyors take some final measurements, perhaps for some other feature the King has planned ?

The llamas roam the grounds, as some workers do some final tidying up

A coach arrives.....

In the early evening the King, Queen and some members of the court enjoy some music from the guard foot band.

Palace Rebuild (2)...

 The base and steps for main palace section done, started assembly...

The palace rebuild starts....

The plan is to have the main front section approx the same size & width as the rear and side elevations; palace low relief sections will be based on some hardboard recovered from some bookcases that have been dismantled.

New look main entrance section ....

Trial dry-run assembly of sections

The wing to the ballroom/view platform will be a separate piece ( to reduce storage width needs)

At the palace .....

A lovely sunny day in the Kingdom of Wittenberg , at the palace the llamas are have a wander around the grounds....

The King, with family, plus local dignitaries enjoy a concert and march past by the guard bands...

The dignitaries leave in their coaches directed by the palace guard...

A governess and some children in her charge play by the fountain...

The palace guard are about to do their rounds.... 

Late in the afternoon the King and the Chancellor are meeting with surveyors and architects to discuss options for the renovation or alteration of the palace frontage....

The palace shelf diorama in my games room...between games storage and my garden railway locomotives.

the diorama has got very ''tired & faded" and needs a complete refurb; at the moment I need the shelf space for some additional storage while some remedial work is going to be done in the house.

So the diorama has been carefully dismantled and as much as possible saved for a re-build; it may be that the palace will have a complete new frontage - depending on the whim of King Leopold (including perhaps a larger ballroom?)

Wittenberg is 20 Years Old....

I was looking at the old online diary pages I had before I created this blog.  Some time during the end of June and the middle of July 2006 the Kingdom of Wittenberg was born. I've had lots of fun and some great games over the years 😀

Some of my favourite pictures about the palace and the town...

The palace gardens.......

The palace guard (and the palace cats)...

Sedan chair race in Wittenberg town...

Time for tiffin at the palace....
