A bit further along; the construction of the new sections is finished - the gate slides into place between the upright pallisade logs (lazy me). Now have to get some filler into the gaps then on to painting ...

Watchtower Pallisade - WIP

Having managed to source some more Timpo fort section pieces off Ebay I've been able to start work on the pallisade for the watchtower. I used some of my existing sections and I'm building  4 new small corner pieces and a section with a gate.

Roman Watchtower - work in progress (3)

A bit more work done on the watchtower. Firstly a couple of chaps to keep a look out (modified Timpo Toyway heroic romans)

Also needed a couple of braziers for signal fires. I made these from a plastic lego wheel with the rim removed and the spokes turned up - a little cotton wool with PVA in the centre; all on a wire support

The detail of the timbers in the top part of the watchtower have been added and a basic handrail

The dumpy watchtower is taking shape....

Cut down Playmobil castle parts form the base part of the tower, with the top part made from card and foamboard. A spare roof being just right tops its off. I'm happy with the look of it so have added the supports for the walkway....
