Small Roman Fort in Bits and Pieces

thingiverse

This model originally came about because I wanted to create a small fort around some roman barracks that I had seen close to where I live. Each barracks structure was supposed to house a basic roman fighting unit. Again, everything is kept in 1:72 scale but the diorama that I eventually made (shown below) was of course in 1:144 scale and much smaller than what I had in mind, to the great relief of my wife and our two cats. Once I got going, I wound up doing the walls first because those were easiest to design at the time (see my comment about brick size etc. in my castle post). The walls, watchtowers and gate here are basically the ones of my medieval castle, but with much larger crenellations. Of my two dioramas - the digital one using these files, and the physical print-out, currently the printed-out one definitely wins. That is probably due to some nice resin-printed trees that were added in, even though those are unrealistic (dont think any self respecting commander would have left these standing within a hundred yards of the walls). Enjoy !
