I have finished cutting and assembling the first bastion. This was fiddlier than the Ravelin and I had to bodge things in a couple of places. I think it was because I made some changes to the flat models for the half-bastion cuts, rather than going back to the 3d model and changing that.
I might revisit the front wall shapes and revise them for the next two bastions to make it easier to assemble.
This one is a little bit off, but once textured and painted I am sure it will look fine. It is 17" across at the largest point.
I need to add steps/slope at the back to access the reserve area and also steps for the main bastion walled area.
Next up are the city wall and a gated wall to fit between the bastions. Then I will look at putting together the other two bastions and ravelins so I can start to work out the ditch.
After that, two different demi-lunes, one with a road running through it and then on to the glacis.
Finally, I will then start on the citadel and the buildings for the city. I have scanned and "improved" the photos from the battle magazine article to help me identify the number or buildings and their style so I can produce a similar look.
