the real culprits, the fort was just an excuse
from Ludington Michigan, a local product!
the tower in an undamaged condition
the damaged section in place of the top floor and some rubble
more damage = more rubble
complete ruin requires even more rubble
the barracks was next on the list
the ruins are not an exact replacement for the battlement level..
..but I can live with that
as usual more wreckage more rubble
one end of the barracks ruin, I based it on a section of card and then built the wall using the blocks. I then used some strips of blue board that I frayed on the end to look like splintered wood
the reverse view of the same,
I will add some stucco to the lower edges to make it blend in better
the other end of the barracks ruin
seen from the other direction
the whole lot together,
the small rubble piles were built on scraps of card and I hot glued big blocks to it,
the some broken ones and finally bits of blue board for filler,
next is some sand and a paint job
This should give the option of exploring a long abandoned fort or a desperate last-stand defense of a fort under heavy attack.
