Siberian wooden fort-the gate

Nightmare to create, but it should be worth it in the end, 28mm size, i just grabbed any 28mm figure so you can compare the size of the entrance.

The tower on both has a artillery vision to fire from, the bridge still has alot of work to work on.

The plank design i think will look good once paint, pretty wide to fit alot of musket men in

Inside one of the towers, a 28mm size gun, i came across a Siberian/Russian fort that had artillery guns inside them, so i had to do it, still have to make the sliding shutters and ladders from below

The nightmare is getting the overlap of corner logs, trying to keep the towers straight and the same height is pretty hard because just about every log is a different size.

Still loads of work to do on this and i have spent hours to build it this far, i think once done my 6ft wide fort is going to be good for a battle on the tabletop.

Looking good, where'd you get the logs from?

It's really coming together - a lot of effort.

Update today, still alot of work, began painting the top part of the towers, still needs more weathering, doing this while the doors dry out

The greyed wood looks terrific. Really coming along.

Thanks Grant, i wanted the grey effect rather than a brown

Update 23rd december, still need highlighting on the red parts and weathering, but looking good so far, adding ghost grey colour as my dry brush to give that frost cold look as i was to add icicles and a bit of snow in parts.

Side door, i added a small piece of wall to connect up with what i have made so far, but i think i now might add huts on top of my walls now because i think it really looks different from anything else made - lots of American wooden forts out on the gaming world but it really needs to look Siberian/Russian and i think the more work on it the better the look.

Wow, that's incredible. I'd love to emulate it someday.
