Adventures in Safranistan - my NWF project (update hillfort finished, new pics)

[Hammers]

That is absolutely gorgeous, Admiral! This build has everything I hope to achieve myself. I am in the slow and steady pace of building a small NWF town myself and will follow this thread carefully. I hope to include hillfort, a mosque, a bazaar, a tannery and terrassed dwellings. What do you have planned?

Thanks, Hammers. Good to hear that you're on the same road for some terrain pieces for your magnificent NWF (jazz age) miniatures collection. I'm just doing this hillfort as we have some more terrain pieces at the club already. But maybe after a break ..., a caravansary could attract me.

With some experience working with plywood under my belt I started part two of the hillfort, the right wing, outer walls and large gate. Everything was going quite straightforward now, so here are some impressions of the model after finishing most of the components:












When you look closer, you'll see that I changed the style of the building to be a bit more rough and rundown than the first building compound. Maybe this is the older part of the fort, being the main complex for years until the other one was raised and completed by the outer walls. I wanted some kind of indented wall parts on the front, so parts of the wall had to be cut two times, the thinner one glued on top of the other.








Two more shots of the inner area walls, the steep stairs and some areas with spackle preparing the outer plastering. The last pic shows all new parts for doors and the gate, which will be movable and and to be bolted by a tiny beam. In the foreground my press mould for brickwork.

Tomorrow we're going to the Crisis show gaming on the new NWF-table. I had some more smaller items prepared in the meantime, so more pics of the finished building and some in action shots next week when we'll be back.

Top notch work without any doubt.

Literally I cannot wait to see all coming together tomorrow.
