Looks very good.

I'm in. Looks like it will easily make the base level funding. Here's hoping it shoots through the add ons.

Not a fan of printable stuff. I prefer resin versions.

21eRegt28 May 2016 9:14 a.m. PST

Resin versions seem very limited. I'll be watching this one.

I would be super interested in a 10mm/15mm version. Sadly that is on the high end of the stretch goal. If it looks like it going to make it AND I can find someone with a 3D printer who can use the .STL file, I might cut loose with the 60 bucks needed to get it.

Happy you like it boys!. (smile)

@DontFearDareaper – Keeping in mind that even if the 10/15mm stretch goal isn't reached, there is nothing stopping you from printing the existing files in a smaller scale. There's actually a demo photo halfway down the KS page showing a wall section printed in 28mm, 15mm and 10mm side by side.

Not interested at all. First of all, there's no ditch, covered way, counterscarp or glacis, which is where the action in a siege takes place. The addition of these would increase the footprint of the model by a factor of 8.

Second it's not a fortress, it's a fort, very much a clone of Ticonderoga .

I built my own years ago.

Ben Avery28 May 2016 1:29 p.m. PST

The expansions look as though they can give you some options for expanding your model and having a true fortress, but by the time you factor in printing costs, they really should be included in the basic pledge.

As they say, it's inspired by Ticonderoga, but designing from something more ambitious might have allowed that.

DFD,Paper Terrain makes Vauban Fortresses in various sizes,including 10mm and 15mm. Take a look:

paperterrain.com

Not the same thing, of course,but they do look good.

False advertising! That isn't a Vaubun fortress.

By the way, there is a true 3D model of Ticonderoga on one of the 3D model sites

For those interested, the creator has published a sample wall piece so folks can download and test print prior to the campaigns completion. Details below: Update #8

I am backing this and hopefully it will get to the 10mm and 15mm stretch goals and some pieces will be amalgamated for easier printing, otherwise I will just scale it down (as mentioned above). I can see using this not only in historics but also in some fantasy games as well.

Next stretch goal by the way is the 'Drawbridge'.

CBRFigs – Did you read the most recent update? Matt is currently considering reordering the stretch goals based on backer feedback. Nothing set in stone yet, but he's mentioned bumping the gate in favour of the straight wall pieces from the Star Fort.

Thoughts?
