STEP 2 : Draw and paint the base
  • Take any corrugated box flap, mount board and the container. Give them a base coat using Fevicryl Acrylic Colour White.
  • Draw a simple outline of the stones on the piece of the Mount board further to make the stone masonry on the tower.
  • Mark and cut the window and the railing below the window from the corrugated box flap and the card board.
