I thought I'd start a new thread for my question rather than bury it here. New pictures as the forts get painted will be added here though. :)

They look the biz  8) :-*

Might I suggest a little bit of weathering in the form of stains running down from the windows and from the top of the tower (only needs a small amount).

cheers

I know what you mean. I'm quite pleased with how the thatching came out. But from being just an out building it's become a star of it's own.

Cheeers James.
So would you suggest some watered down mid-tone brown or tan along the tops of the walls and bottoms of the windows?

Yup  :)

And a bit of green watered down ink 'growing' up from the base in a few places.
