I took some WIP photos of this but not enough to make much sense in the construction process.

Rather pleased with this one and I'll get some shots with figures and other terrain hopefully tomorrow.













cheers

Brilliant James. Just right. Those look like seriously chunky timbers. I can hear the musket balls thwacking into them now...  :o

Did you think about putting any "battle damage" on the structure?

Absolutely beautiful, and I hope you don't mind me saying, that I would prefer it with some weathering such as brown and green washes to depict damp areas and battle damage etc.

Sorry, just wanted to apologise for this statement, I must have been tired as I didn't see the subtle washes around the windows etc.
Even more beautiful :-* :-*
