The walls still hold, part 2., in which they don't + 1,5 years of Random&Creative


So this is the solution for the scratchbuild: cardboard, the master of all materials. The shape itself isn't very symmetrical but let's suppose the environment required it to be this way.


The cardboard still bends a little but some weighting will solve that. Intended to be used for Risk gaming but without the barracks it would be useful as a minor fortress for 15mm.

The walls still hold, sort of



Some progress being made on the fortress I mentioned in the latest posts. This above is the first attempt, just threw together lego pieces of equal length. There is an artillery battery included to show the scale to the Risk units I own.


Now this is much better, I remembered I had some of these huge A1 papers so drew a pentagonal shape (marked a point, drew a line then 72° differences between four other lines starting at the same point), the sides equal the length of the longer lego pieces. 


There is a barracks inside and the old piece of vine I collected last year. All I need is some elevations, some of those thick cardboard pieces will do, or maybe foamboard.
