Nice one!
It needs a well?
A cookhouse?
Stable blocks?
Barrack rooms?
Otherwise, awesome!

It looks brilliant, though, knowing your terrain making skills of old, I expected nothing less, Jim.

All good ideas. I have an accommodation block in mind for phase two and also a stable block. And also a bigger tower.

Cracking! And those magnets mean it's dead easy to expand...

So to besige this fort, does one need only a degaussing coil?

And it goes on and on and on.

Some of the pieces are custom made for me so it's difficult to put an accurate price on it.

Ah, no worries :)

My table is 12 foot long so I'm OK for the time being.

The original 4 tower 4 wall with gateway fort would be £32 at RRP. I added doors and windows but do not know their prices.

Adding the additional walls, towers and buildings is at least another £40 which is a discounted rate so the real cost will be higher.

I have more doors and windows to add at another unknown price.

The above figures may or may not include the cost of magnets as I had some already but have added more as I went along. Each tower or wall piece has 8 magnets installed in it.

That's a lot of magnets :)

Well worth it if It was a core project, I think...
