For a fist build that's very good 8)
With a little bit of greenery on the base and some weathering on the walls you'll have a cracker :)
cheers

Hi. Thank you.
Yup i intend going back to it and the figures (i'm still painting more troops) and finishing off the basing.
I've drybrushed the walls. What would you suggest for weathering?
Thanks

Thinned down green and brown inks to give the impression of water streaks, but really thin it down, it's better to go over an area than to have to much.

Nice one! I like both the forts. That's going to be a cool table to play on with those two.
-
Very nice forts, reminds me that I need to get some foamboard...
-
Nice job! Looks way better than my hill fort (which is only imaginary so far...) :D
James
-
But wheres the hill?
No seriously, that is a fine piece of scenery you have made there.

Ha ha - we're working on all the hills at the moment :D

Ok i had a go at weathering and added some greenery. I'm not entirely happy with the effect, particularly around the loopholes. My fault - the inks weren't diluted enough i think. I may do a slight dry-brush over to tone them down.
Otherwise its finished except for the varnishing. I'll gloss & then dullcote etc

That looks better, a few small patches of green ink going part way up the Walls in the internal corners and you're there :)
cheers
James

Very nice.
yes, some more weathering, and maybe some cracked stucco with exposed mud bricks.
Make some more!

A touch of green in the internal corners eh? Ok go on then :)

It looks like someone with a severe case of Entamoeba histolytica has hung his arse out the loop holes. Makes it look even more convincing!

" ... maybe some cracked stucco with exposed mud bricks"
Agree that idea does sound very cool. I'll steal that for the next thing i do. I was thinking something for either WotR or the ECW

"It looks like someone with a severe case of Entamoeba histolytica has hung his arse out the loop holes ..."
that made me chuckle!
Thanks fellas - i've enjoyed making this and will do more as i'm realising that terrain really makes the game. It just takes away from painting figures - that's the rub

A large Colonial bash is just around the corner
I think that calls for some Highlanders

The extra weathering adds another dimension to the model, excellent.
I might just pinch that idea for my Sudan building.
