Hi everybody,

I´m still not finished with the project, but I decided to share my progress.

After I nearly finished the Main Fortress, I decided to start the ravelins. I used 2cm thick Styrodur and 1 cm high Selitron for the Rampart, to cut it in shape I used my Proxxon hot Wire cutter again, used the Structure Paste again and then Painted and flocked them. I made a total of 5 of them.
Due to its size i decided to install the Fortress on a 60 x 60 cm  MDF Platewith a Selitron Base and surronding Terrain.

But enough, here are the Pictures:

Two ravelins protect the Walls of the Fort...

And here the whole Fortress in all its Glory






I´m still not finished with it, I planed some Buildings for the Soldiers, Some bushes who block the LOS on the narrow Paths to the ravelins,
Staircases,  Flag Masts, Guards, a Cannon or two, a Gate Door, and I´m searching for some N Gauge Ducks for the moat.

Regards,

Peter

I'll add ducks to the list of farmyard animals to make then, shall I ? :-< ;)
The crocodile can chase them around the moat.

Excellent work, Conan. You'll be telling us next you want carp for the moat.  :D

Carp - ugh. Worst blunder in the Creator's catalogue.
