Title: Medieval Garrison Tower
Post by: Neldoreth on May 17, 2010, 06:52:54 PM
It's been a while since I've done any detailed terrain stuff... So, here's my latest effort! It's a small tower really, but compared to most of the tiny, circumstantial terrain most people use for their historical/fantasy games, it's giant :) See the whole gallery here:

Medieval Tower Gallery (http://www.hourofwolves.org/?view=terrain&which=medievalTower&thumbs=1)

Here's some pics:

'STRUTH!!! Well done! That's massively impressive!

Now you just need to add curtain towers and outbuildings and a moat... :^)

Very nice and useful model. Practical, lift off roof; lots of gaming space both inside and on top of your model. You should really enjoy that terrain piece. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. The more skirmishy a game the closer in scale your buildings and figures can be. This would be a very nice piece in a detailed small siege. I'm guessing pink not blue insulation foam?

Very nice work.  Having the gameable detailed interior makes it even better.

Also alot of other great pieces on your web page.

Can't beat a good tower for a fantasy skirmish game and that's as good as they come.  The interior detailing is superb too.

Thantsants is right, it's a tower-rific building!

How long did it take to build?

As to the questions of how to built it, and how long it took, it was actually pretty easy... I didn't really use any new techniques on this one, except for the hoarding perhaps. It took about a month to build from start to finish, but that time was shared with other painting projects and terrain projects. I think that if I had dedicated myself to it, it could have taken about a week or two to being together.

As for a how-to, I plan to throw an article together soon. I will post here when I do!

Thanks again,
n.
