The Roman Fort-an on-going saga.

As neither Paul or Brian or Dave are available for a game on Thursday,I thought I would "crack" on with my on-going Roman Fort project.
Having decided that a three sided fort has little or restrictive use on the wargames table,the solution seemed to be to make it a four-sided fort,plus I could make some more sections to extend the fort into a wall of sorts,which would cover the width of our table.

The materials I used-I made a template from the existing walls(green card),and marked the black card I bought at WH Smith's.

The top photo shows the card marked from the template,and the bottom photo shows how I measured the timber,to get the right length of wall.

The first wall has been cut from the card,and is "propped" up against the timber to see how it will look-so far I am pleased!!

This shot shows the rest of the sections cut out and ready to be stuck onto the timber.

I opted for Liquid Nails!!-the sections are underneath the boxes of figures being used as weights!!

Left overnight to stick firmly,and "hey presto!!" completed sections-now for the real test-how will they look?

Not too bad!I always knew that the new wall sections would be higher and a different colour to the existing ones,but for wargaming purposes I will accept that!!

Occupied!!

A quick paint job later on this week,should see the Fort in action on Sunday!
