Geoff and I don't usually work from drawings ,the concepts are taken from actual buildings and then lengthy discussions on how we can adapt to end up with an actual idea that can be made up in scrap to ensure sizes, shapes .work !
The biggest lesson I have learnt some buildings just don't scale down well to keep the integrity on the tabletop

Always be prepared to adapt and adjust as you build........and don't be afraid to admit an idea just doesn't work!

Geoff L and I are playing around  with an idea of sections of a ruined Central Asian city or fortress walling, thought  you would like to follow concept ideas, these are at embryonic stage

This is a plan that I have on the back burner. I will be very interested how your walls turn out.

Such an amazing thread. I for one would be delighted to know how the Central Asian fortress turned out.
