Roman Watchtower


roof

I'm just starting work on the 4Ground Roman Limes Watchtower, which I bought from Warlord Games at the Phalanx show in St Helens last month.  The one feature of the model which I don't like is the roof, so I'm scratch-building a fresh one.  I bought some heavy, textured, paper from the art shop, printed a lot of strips of 'tiles' on it and spent a happy (?) evening cutting them out (and ended up with a blister on my index finger).  Now I'm sticking them onto the laser-cut MDF roof sections, to hide the original tiles.  Looking forward to having it done - think I'm going to surround it with a bank and ditch too - like the towers on the Gask Ridge 'frontier'.
