Looking excellent.

I love all the little details, the antlers, skull, benches, drying skins etc. Wonderful, tres magnifique!

As mentioned above, a really great fort with a lot of little details included.

thank you guys for your comments
I see that you like small details and it amuses me when I see all the details that I still have to add
there I focus on the store then it will be the forge and the canteen
a little to show you where my madness goes

I will have to post some photos of Fort Bridger which I visited last September. They'll show just how remarkable your work is to the 'original' recreation. Yes, I know, different fort but the parallel level of detail is amazing. And those photos will show a key element missing from your fort that you might choose to add - a fur press for compacting furs into their trade bundles.

Another fan of this project.

Other than your original painting from the OP, what other sources have you used or have you been in the Old West? By the way, that painting looks to be exceptionally influenced by contemporary reenactors. I was a docent - though not a reenactor - at the old 'fort' in Sacramento, Sutter's Fort a quarter century ago. Those trappers in the painting look spot on for reenactors, though the photo-realism of the painting may account for some of that effect.

yes the press is there
you can put your photos if you have them (it may be interesting) and unfortunately I have never been in the wild west
I have a good documentation for example "the book of Buckskinning"
but it's not over yet I still have a lot to add

Brilliant work

thank you for your motivating comments
the photos that follow are not for the sensitive souls and I apologize to the protectors of the animals and I want to specify that it is only plastic and that no animal was mistreated whatever in any case there will be antelope for dinner tonight

I missed this back in October but really pleased I caught up with it now. Exceptional work, all the small details are superb and really bring it to life. Well done.
