Spent some time today cutting bases for the Ravelins and bastions and working out sizing for the Demi-lunes.
I have decided to redo the Ravelin without a hexed base as it is too
hard to get them to line up correctly with the bastions without a lot of
fiddling.
I also started on cutting the extra base tiles need to complete the 8' x
5' table. The pictures show roughly what it will look like, the green
area runs up to were the glacis will be, beyond that will be the ditch
and behind the walls will be the city streets.
I am starting wonder about using removeable tape to stick the tiles down
to the boards so I can move them on and off the table without having to
pack them away each time. Anyone worked with any removeable tape - I
know you can get it for temporarily hanging pictures.
The glacis is proving a problem to design as it is so large and the
bases for it will have to be made is several parts as will the grass
slope. I am wondering about laser cutting the back wall and covered way
and firing platform and then making the rest out of foam board cut by
hand.
When finished the defences will look quite imposing.
