Fort Project - 2, construction of fort sections

Dimensions - firing platform which is 6cm deep and 4cm high, 2cm wide and 2cm high for the parapet; 3cm wide for the ditch; with the glacis on the main gate section 5cm wide. The internal width of the main gate is 5cm.

Out came my stock of glue, cardboard and foam board. Firstly I added the glacis to the main gate section, then the gate itself.

Flushed with success I went on to complete a side wall section using the same techniques ...

I just had to complete a bastion, I just wanted to know how it would look ....

I will be making a breached side section (Murdocks suggestion) and I am tempted to make some outer works for the main gate. Now I'll need some garrison troops, some fortress guns and .......
