Looking for good 15mm redoubts, gun emplacements, earthworks, fascines, chevaux de Frise, stone walls, fences of all European and American types in resin, foam or metal. Not just robust and nice to look at but well designed and executed too with thoughts about how to use them in wargaming. Who makes nice stuff either here or the UK? |

MiniPigs, because like you I couldn't find what I was looking for, I made my own 15mm redoubt. Simple and easy to make and easy to get materials. You can design your earthworks to your exact desires. I plan on using my new redoubt in my next battle. This was my first attempt at earthworks and in the thread/TMP link below, there is some good advice on how to improve the construction. TMP link
Hope this helps. God bless,

I will soon put an article on my site on field fortifications for "horse and musket era", this week when I install my what-if 1813 Gzhatsk battle. Recently bought these, very modular and good
link the 1812 bits here "flèches" if you are allowed gabions

needs to be integrated into some form of earthworks. (ACW-1870+) and bits here and there of artillery emplacements/ redoubts Wagamer.pl, Hovels… And pay attention to realistic details;).
On the breastworks pics above, I wonder how these planks hold the earth, and what are the use those pillars which are not actually holding those planks up. Now if those sticks had been on the outside of the planks stuck in the ground ;)… |
