I recently finished painting a classic old Ian Weekley design Vauban fortress for a friend. It has 13 pieces altogether, two of which are loose ramps. Instead of my usual approach of posting hundreds of photos all at once, I've split them up into several sections. Here's a LINK to the first section: link And here's a few taster pics:

Nicely painted. This is resin stuff? Some looks like foam and other bits look resin-y. Where can you buy the set? |

Thanks for the compliments! There is a LOT more to come. @MiniPigs: As mentioned in my blog-post, the majority of the pieces are older and cast in hard foam (I believe polyurethane), but the separate ramps and later reinforcements (a second bastion and second octagonal tower) are new and cast in white resin. I also posted a link to the current supplier, Magister Militum in the UK… link |
