A 3mm range is very doubtful but never say never  :)

So, more progress on the yamashiro.

All the walls have been primed and given their base colour apart from the simple gateway which is being cast at the moment. Some of the wall sections have been stuck together to ease painting and the joins will be sorted once they've been stuck on place.

I need to coat the remaining blue foam surface with either glue, watered down filler or caulk just to make sure there's no resin off gassing that could cause damage to it (doubtful but best to be sure).

I'll try and make a start on the siege equipment this coming week.

It’s looking magnificent.

What was the purpose of the earthen bank ‘bridges’ that segregate the moat into sections?

They were for two purposes, for support of the berm and also to channel troops into a smaller 'kill zone'.

Some of the larger yamashiro layouts were really quite extensive and intricate.

I suppose that another purpose might have been to limit attackers' movement around the walls - once some attackers were committed to a section of wall (and its pit), the berms would have hindered their movement to reinforce any gains further along the wall...

Started painting now. One joined section at a time and blended in as I go. Once they’re all on, blended and the ground work basecoat is on then I’ll add the groundwork colours. Doors and supports to do but I’ll add those nearer the end to help prevent clumsy fingers knocking them about  :D
