Update 1st jan

I added abit more colour of red to the tower gate and iccles hanging from the lookout post

upload an image

The entrance i decked with yet more planking to give it that Siberian look about it and thought lets get those icicles hanging also, plus some slush snow was put around to give that cold effect.

Weathering was added to the effect also, ran out of slush snow so i am waiting in the post for more, i think it kind of breaks the colours up and adds that little bit more interest to the building.

gate hinges arrived but only one pair, still waiting for the other pair to come through my door, they fit perfect

Anyway was abit fed up waiting so i thought i would need a damage wall effect to replace part of the wall section when bombarded, in fact i decide to build two of these, just in case some one gets lucky on the dice rolls.

Then over the few days i thought i wanted my walls to have that feel about Siberian/Russian look about it,thought i done so much work on the gate towers i did'nt want the walls to let the place down.

The wall section (will be making two of these) has a corridor to walk into the next section of wall, you can shoot from both sides and is well protected, i guess it could be just a building on its own.

As you can see from the side it overlaps the wall, trap doors would be open and thrown rocks and other nasty bits would drop if attacked from below.The door entrance walks onto the next wall section.

Inside plenty of room for those 28mm miniatures, its solid and can easy fit your hand in to push around miniatures.

Still lots more to do, seige equipment ect... i guess our Vikings can raid the eastern Europe

Just catching up with this fine piece of work, well done!

Seems you are on the roll with this, will there be additional buildings later on with the same theme?

Of course i have a number of buildings to create and also the inside protection walls, thanks for the comment and happy new year

Very nice. The cold detailing looks great. Also the grey weathering. I really like the blasted walls too.

Your weathering is very nice. I am looking forward to the gates (particularly like the hinges). Great project!

Fingers crossed the other hinges arrive today, thanks for the comments guys.

That is turning into something rather special - really looking forward to how this develops. On a side note do you have a link for the hinges? It is a bugger to make ones own! I take it they actually work?

try this

They are the black hinges, they work brilliantly, bostick it into place first then use the tap hammer to pin it, wait till the bostik is perfectly dry though, can't mess it up and put it out of position then, thanks again for the feedback, just making some Vietnam buildings for my friend at the moment till glue drys on my walls, then i am back into it.

Great progress. Those extra details like the icicles are the icing on the cake.
