What it is
A roughly 51-minute Blender tutorial by CG Geek in which the presenter builds a King's Landing style castle from Game of Thrones. It covers modelling towers and walls from simple primitives, mirror modifiers and texturing, with reference images and free texture sites linked in the description.

I am trying to follow this video, [this video] and make the tower the way he does. At about the 5:30 minute point he turns the circle and deletes 3/4 of it. When I try to mirror it like he does some of the edges are missing and don't make a complete circle. I tried it with a plane instead of a circle and I can make it work. Why would the mirror function leave out some edges? Here is a image of what is happening. The left side is what I am trying to mirror. [LINK] Yes, I know he uses the Mirror modifier on both axes, X and Y. I left Y out of this image to show how it's not mirroring even one axes correctly. Here is a screen shot with both X and Y axes.

In this tutorial: ( [this video] ) Steve extrudes a circle and then scales in the sides after adding 2 edge cuts. I have 2 questions. How do you extrude a circle? How do you scale in the sides? When I tried to scale in the sides, my cylinder gets distorted.

Goodmorning, I am working to imitate the tutorial at this link: [this video] At minute 5:15-5:30 he creates a circle with 8 vertices, deletes 3/4 of the figure and then use the mirror modifier to complete the operation. I'm trying to imitate him, but after deleting the 3/4 of the circle I apply the mirror modifier but the circle does not close. My result is: [LINK] Instead in the original tutorial the circle is: [LINK] I don't understand where is the problem.
