Title: Part 2 of my Frech Indian War Fort/Stockade
Post by: Eric the Shed on 02 October 2012, 08:30:51 PM

Hi Folks

I think I am nearly there with the finished product. The Fort has taken several days, copious amounts of glue, flock, foam and bamboo skewers but hey I'm happy.

- Please note that I now know they didnt have thatched buildings, crosspars on outside of walls , and the British didnt wear white vests (:-))
,
A full write up is on the blog - www.shedwars.blogspot.com

The fort will make an appearance at BLAM (hopefully)

The last picture is the best...it tells a story with the figures, animals, wagons, etc. You have indeed given life to your project. You should be quite proud and pleased with your results. Thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Hitman
