Spurred on by Emilio's smashing build, I've put together a set of turf walls to go with the watch tower I built, to make it into a fortlet. This is a view of the finished item.
And a work in progress shot. The turf banks are foam, with the timber palisade from balsa.
And a final shot,with the tower in place, and a garrison.
There's a full write-up with a "how-to" over on my blog.

The blog post is a bit image-heavy. This was meant to be a quick project, but two and half weeks fighting the chest infection from hell has slowed this down – a lot! Enjoy! |

That's a very neat piece of construction. I really like the muted colours of the wood. |

Very nice and I too really like the effect you've got for weathered wood; I can never get it look as convincing as you've achieved. |
