[This message has been edited by Total_IceSkating_Hottie (edited 12-15-2005).] Paul.Total_IceSkating_Hottie I am doing a school project where I have to build a scale model of Blarney Castle. If you could please help me find some that would by GREAT!!!!!!!!!! Paul Hi,plans for a model of Blarney castle are available for free download here http://www.buildmodelcastles.com/html/castles.html
also an illustration and dimensions at http://www.blarneycastle.ie/illustrations.asp?lang=en
Paul.Total_IceSkating_Hottie I have been to thease sights before and I thank you for the help, but i kind of need the lenght, the width and the height. So if you could get those to me as soon as you can that would be excellent. Thanks! I need the blueprints or dimensions because i have to make a scale model of Blarney. If I only have the height I really can't put it in to scale. This Project is worth 50% of my history grade,and i really don't want to fail because it is not in scale. I am only in 8th grade and i don't want th be considered a slacker for nat geeting it into scale. Paul I just found this at http://www.camelotintl.com/heritage/castles/ireland/blarney.html
The present ruin is in two parts - a slender peel tower (16ft by 14ft) which is the earliest part and a much larger mass (60ft by 36ft, 5 storeys; 66 - 85 ft in height) which was then attached to it around the end of the 15th century. The peel tower contains what became known as the `Earl's bedroom', the winding stairwell, and a kitchen; the `stone' is in the new, or larger part. The battlements, with enormous corbel stones, seem to be of an even later date - possibly the late 16th or early 17th century. The castle walls range in thickness from 12ft at the base to 8ft at the third storey.
Paul.Total_IceSkating_Hottie That was wonderful information. If you find any more could you please send it to me. Sense I have thease I can shrink them down to scale. IF you find any blueprints that would be even better. Thank you! Paul Hi,I can't find any blueprints or floor plans anywhere so I guess a little artistic interpretation is in order.
You may have to work from the dimensions and photographs to form as authentic a model as you can.
I wish that I could have helped further.Total_IceSkating_Hottie Thank you for trying to get it for me.If you could find the width if the walls and hoe far it is across the top of the square that would be excellent. Thank you!
