Hello all.
this is toy fort for my youngest guy. I take as inspiration the Airfix fort,but a biy more complex,and was populated with italer foreign legion figures.I do it in wood 5 mm. thick painted with acrilics mixed with shawdust.All material came from a a wine bottles box.

Was a funny and fast project, and client was satisfied with the result :-)

cheers

Looks grand. I tell you what...my son got me back into the hobby...firstly I started building ships and castles for him..then getting the 1/32nd bods to go with them...then thinking "if I painted this one or changed the sword on this etc"...next thing I knew I´d bought some LOTR bods...then some WWII 22mm ones and................ :-)

That could be a fun thread...what I built for my kids (Hobby related) :-)

This is - super! Everything looks just great and professional! :thumbup:

But there is the question: What for a wonderful house visible in the background? (He had wooden? He is Russian?)

thanks for your comments
Paul,
this construccion is part of my long (and lost) figth against Xbox rule :-)

this some of things that I have constructed for the boys

a siege tower that works

a entrance castle with two exagonal towers
Alex,
This background house is a russian house.but at 1/35 scale, I´m not sure if I can put a photo of she in this forum, but I will be happy send you a private email with some photos of my russian works.
As interested in Russian history and wood architecture I like a lot make russian houses, but most part of my work is 1/35.
This is my first 1/72 russian house, that was done in soviet times, in this time graphic information about Russia was scarce and I only have photos from wartime done mainly by germans

cheers
