Sometimes somethings just are ment to happen. I really think that this Town gate is one of those things although it hampers the procress of the hexes. There have been so many little things that have just been waiting to be part of this kind of project but I haven´t seen that before now. Also the level of enthusiasm which burns inside me at the moment is HUGE! I remeber that I had the same feeling when I got the idea for the harbor houses. Well, on with the show!
Here are my quick thoughs and initial plans about the construction of the gate and the wall.
I will base the gate with 3mm mdf because the styrene is quite fragile. I will leave some space around the wall that I can add some details here and there. At the main gate there will be two big statues and maybe a drawbridge of somekind. At the smaller door there will be some big torches and two big flags on the wall. I drew circles where there will be decks for big cannons! Heavy defence for the city:
On the back side there will be big pilars on both sides of the main way. I also drew some walking planes and stairways:
First task was to cut the styrene to three pieces. This will help the working stages later on but also this enables me to shorten the entire piece to fit on 5 hexes (112cm):
Here are some planning doodles:
At this point, in other words before the mdf-base phase, I could start with the main gate. I used knife to cut the desired shape and behold, our good friend and overseer of all my terrain projects, Dr. Arcadius, showed up to show the true scale:
I have had that Lego gate for ages in my bitzbox and now it found it´s meaning of life:
Building terrain is so FUN!!!!!!
