Frontier Fort finally finished and painted

     It has been an embarrassingly long time since I updated this building project. But it also has been an embarrassingly long time in building. However it is finished at last. One of my oldest and dearest friends, The Housemartin, is playing D&D with his children and asked that I build him a model of one of his long-cherished ideas; the Frontier Forts of Kelnore. He provided a much-used copy of the original booklet which provided floor-plans. and I got to work (albeit slowly).  At long last I have finished the project.

     I will compile the postings and add them top the Adventures in Blueboard and Foamcore page. Comments, criticism and suggestions are all welcome.

the floorplans from the booklet; 

the well, stairs and the fireplaces are missing from the model, 

they will be added as separate pieces to allow more flexibility

 another view, the ramps are moveable as well

 

the figure is a Perry's 28mm Stalwart Englishman

 the interior of the upper floor,

the partitions are moveable

 

 the ground floor of the barracks,

 again the dividing walls can be moved or left out as you see fit

 the damaged/ruined sections

 the tower ruins fit on any level

 

 interior options to replace the stables a basic wall-walk

 

 or an extended storage area

 

the booklet that started it all

   This turned out to be a much larger model than I thought it would be, partly because The Housemartin intends to use it for fantasy role-playing and the models associated with that are often MUCH larger than the alleged 28mm and also due to some basic math errors as I was agreeing to build it for him.
