Anyone got measurements for the "pepperpot" type of blockhouses? I am wanting to build a couple for use with 28mm figures. |

I built a couple years ago. As I recall, I did the circular base part around 6 inches in diameter, and the top section just big enough to overhang the base. I believe the garrison was only 6 – 10 men. |

Funny, not too long ago I came across a site that sold both a nice 28mm Boer war Blockhouse and a Boer war fort. Seems the site is gone. |

I know Redoubt does one, but a bit pricey if I want a couple. |

Alan, I have a couple handmade ones. Would you like me to take measurements and pictures of them for you?
Cheers,

I found them! It looks like the original company either sold the 3D files to Footsore America or it was always Footsore and they just stopped offering the physical models. Maybe they'd still print one for you? You can see examples of the physical models they used to offer in grey hard plastic. link link |
