I posted a new blog page, with instructions, and photo's, on how I made some throw-away cardboard tubes, into medieval stone Towers/Keeps. They are for my fantasy games, both RPG, and skirmish/mass battles. Here is the link.

Here is a direct link to a couple of photo's of my prototype Tower: link and link

The prototype is a bit rough, with poor alignment, but the next several will be better. The brown around the Tower's base will be covered by "Ground Cover" foam, from Woodland Scenics, which will spiff it up a bit. Thanks for viewing. Cheers!

Looks great. Which Castle PDF did you use?

Neet idea. Will have to remember that when making buildings.

Xintao, I used the "Borderlands Keep Basic" (the Basic set has no vines growing up the side of the walls, so it works better than the Deluxe set), from Fat Dragon Games, for the tower's surface, but I also used their Copper Dungeons Basic Sets 1 & 2, for other bits, like the stone floor for the roof, the trap door on the roof, and the steel door, at ground level. A little of this, a little of that. Cheers!
