I believe that TAG cannon barrels may be available separately...

Been following this and very impressed. Missed the bit where you modelled the round towers on the corners, could you link to it please?

Those round towers seem to feature heavily on forts of all sizes, do you know what they were called?

They are called Bartizan turrets. There are some posh French terms for them as well.

The round towers were called gareteas (or something along those line check starfort.com for a fuller investigation of these things)

here are the links to my blogs  http://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2017/06/of-towers-and-gateways.html    and  http://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2015/04/fort-matanzas-part-ii-sentry-watchtower.html

I went for one which had a 90 degree slice out of the base.


Ever feel like you're being watched?


Ahhhh...


So now I have a mould so cast as many as I might need... Hoorah!  :-*

Irregular Miniatures used to do ships' cannons pretty cheap (i have a dozen or so), but I can't see them on the website any more.

Impressive fort!
The small turrets are garitas in Spanish language.

Your towers are lovely, and very much more to scale than mine.....I am jealous

What would it take to get a half-dozen of them from you?

A PM, paypal and your address mate. They're three pieces, the bottom for attaching to fort walls, the round central part with three windows, and the roof. If you base on a penny, 20mm, you can get a mini inside.

Btw on the cannon front, the B&P light cannons are very well priced. https://www.waylandgames.co.uk/gift-ideas/47977-light-cannons
