Might I suggest you make corners and ends to the walls - that would certainly make fielding them a lot more pleasing to the eyes.

Well, the the various wall pieces are designed so that you can cut them up and make towers and gates out of them as well, though it takes a bit of modelling skill to do that.

I'll look into alternate/additional pieces for them as well.

Here's a picture of the Fortified Walls we're talking about:

Ya know, I didn't even think to cut them up!  That would certainly do it.  Although I do think for a lot of people the prospect of buying something for $12 then slicing it up is a bit unnerving.  My suggestion still stands - you figure two 'bookends' and two corner pieces with four walls would look awfully nice.  Especially if the corner pieces weren't 90 degree angles.  45 degrees would be sweet and could be doubled up for those who want a square look.

Yeah, I designed them to be "easily modified"; trying to maintain that in all my designs.

My suggestion still stands - you figure two 'bookends' and two corner pieces with four walls would look awfully nice.  Especially if the corner pieces weren't 90 degree angles.  45 degrees would be sweet and could be doubled up for those who want a square look.


I shall try to work something like that out, but it'll be hard to "facade" such things, so they're going to be be chunks of resin.

Can you draw/explain your "bookends" concept, Bill?

Here's a picture of Walls, Towers, and Gate all together:

Yeah, looking at that, 45 degree "links" would be cool... thanks for the inspiration!

Sure.  Something like this (see picture) that could cap the end of a set of walls.  This is just off the top of my head - there might be a slicker way to do it, but you get the idea.

Just to say folks got a full set of defences, two bunkers and four gun emplacements through the post t'other day, great stuff! Already planning a small fortified bunker complex as well as an armoured missile silo site and a few extra bits on the side.

Anyone planning to buy, go ahead, they're tastilicious!

My box of entrenchments arrived today and they look great, good timing as I had my primers out of the box and ready to prime something else.  Can't wait to paint the up.

Mine arrived today, too. I'm looking forward to painting mine as well. I'm so glad that I've finally unpacked all my hobby supplies. Now I just have to wait for the humidity to drop.  :vD
