Captain Blackmoor Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Walls from star forts were incredibly thick, a few meters. The thickness of those walls are realistic. But the length of the walls should be expanded to get the right proportion, like Matt said. Are you plannig to give it an update? That would be great! Quote

I agree that the fortress have to be larger to be more realistic. But I had to do a bit small to don't be very large in relation to other buildings of the display. Quote
martinsuper Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I have to disagree with some people on this thread. I like the proportions and the interior space. This fort looks like what it is suppose to be, a heavy fortification to control a crucial area. Maybe you do not need to use the inside spaces of the fort, just make them look like they are used. More doors, etc... Quote
Commodore Hornbricker Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I think the proportions are beautiful. It could easily be expanded but it could also be a smaller fortification covering the enterance to an important water way that stands in support to a main fortification that houses a port garrison, etc. The port I am working on actually has four forts and this size would be perfect for three of them.

At my region (north of Portugal) we have a few of this type of forts on the shoreline. On the great rivers, the forts are bigger. Quote
LBaixinho Posted April 26, 2009 Author Posted April 26, 2009 Hi Baixinho,It's a beautifull Fort. Very well built and also realistic The inclined walls technique is very good. This will look very good in our pirates display Yes, we are working fot that Quote
