I can't see needing 2 forts but I may use the pieces to make a proper blockhouse or may make a palisaded native village.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-57835514758917617632013-03-20T10:09:06.173-03:002013-03-20T10:09:06.173-03:00Thanks Chris, I have used gesso on other things bu...Thanks Chris, I have used gesso on other things but not needed here, the spray foam that appears to have been used is like the stuff used for insulating houses and takes paint well.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-68227597551802528622013-03-20T10:07:24.280-03:002013-03-20T10:07:24.280-03:00Thanks Alan.

You have kept the essentials of the original structure but made it work in a smaller space and with smaller scale figures.<br /><br />What are you are thinking of doing with the leftovers? Is there enough left to create other fortifications?<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-38025529347636899952013-03-20T06:28:43.585-03:002013-03-20T06:28:43.585-03:00The fort turned out nicely Ross.

It seems to shrink fit and give a very flexible tough coating to all sorts of dodgy base surfaces.<br /><br />Kind regards, Chris Chris Kemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15784847480097649252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-33708340943395152013-03-20T03:39:30.769-03:002013-03-20T03:39:30.769-03:00Great work on the conversion Ross.Great work on the conversion Ross.MurdocKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693711825249632305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-90691145402755669562013-03-20T03:08:19.866-03:002013-03-20T03:08:19.866-03:00Great fort,good idea re the bamboo and I think it ...Great fort,good idea re the bamboo and I think it will look fantastic when it is painted.<br />best wishes<br />Alantradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.com
