This weekend's output

Still by no means finished but it's getting there with a little more work and tidying up. The ravellins need much more doing to them and I need to do the gate for the entrance to the fortress.


Of course I will have to think about a glacis and covered way......mmm no I won't bother for now even though I know how to make them.

  1. That has the makings of a magnificent centre piece.

  2. I really like this Colin. Will follow with great interest. It will look spectacular.
    Always fancied a Vauban fort. Where did you get it or is it self made?

    1. Thansk Graham. I bought it years ago in instalments from Magister Millitum. They still do it iirc.

    2. Thanks Guy. The stonework’s not quite worked out as I had planned but the definition on the resin castings isn’t always all that great for the method I used to work as effectively as I would like. A little bit of dark wash here and there perhaps but I did a white wash over the grey as one normally sees paler mortar between the stones, well in my neck of the woods anyway.

  3. Just had a look at their site and sorely tempted. With those 22 ers from John on the horizon I just don't know if I should be diverted again. I will see how you get on.
