One of the most enjoyable aspects of this hobby, for me anyway, is building terrain pieces. It is amazing how much one can accomplish with a few materials and a lot of imagination. My latest project was to build a couple of ruined wall sections for my 15mm FWI fort. By chance, I came across a package of wooden dowels at Joann's the other day that I though might be about the right size for the logs on my fort. I was able to turn a $1.79 USD purchase into the following. My hope is that the ruined sections will look like they have been hammered by artillery.

Those palisades look terrific! |

Looks really good. Forgive me for asking but you listed this as your "15 mm FWI fort" so what exactly is FWI? I am aware of French and Indian War being referred to as FIW but am not aware of what FWI stands for. |

I like the way the palisades to either side of the point the cannonball struck are in disarray. Was artillery the main threat to such walls, or were there other means of attack? Grelber |

Looks good. I suspect the FWI is a simple typo of FIW – French and Indian War. |

I would agree with you but on March 3 he has a post entitled "Large FWI Battle " so I thought it might mean something else. |

My bad. It should be FIW on both counts. |
