Having passed the beginnings of the blueboard star-fort along to Gallocelt for completion (because I already have one and it would be just daft to have two…….wouldn't it?) it occurred to me that the Thirty Years War involved lots of temporary earthworks. As I researched this subject it became apparent that some of them were quite complex. This got me thinking that I needed a fancy earthwork………….. link

Hi Anton,

That should make a fine earthwork for the period. I recall seeing engravings of Spanish sieges in the Netherlands that showed similar construction.

I made some progress on the earthwork and knocked out a couple of gun battery positions while I was at it

Those look very good. Impressive texture and paint job.

Nice finish. I think the earth texture is very realistic.


Cheers!
