A little fort ...

The Kurassiers langiush unfinsihed on my workbench while I build a small fort. I found an offcut of 3mm MDF board which had an interesting sort of hexagonal shape - might be able to make us it as a base to a small fort I thought; so I evened up the shape to make it symmetrical. - this got me going and I carried on constructing the fort uising cardboard and foamboard.
A closer view of the fort after the initial build. It is currently manned by my unpainted Jagers (conversions of varaious figures - another unit waiting for paint)
The King is sitting at his desk in the libray, enjoying the view of the palace grounds while he considers the progress of the border wars in the south against Saxe-Jarlsberg and Hesse-Limberger.

    Nice fort, interesting to see its makeup. I look forward to seeing the finished result.

    Regards,

    Nice idea, but you need some sort of ramp for the gun(s) to reach rampart level

    I too like the fort - were there such "little forts" in the "real" world?

    That is a sweet little fort. And the King in his library - wow! Splendid work!
