I'm in the middle of building a earthwork and timber hill fort, mostly for a fantasy barbarian army I'm also starting to paint up. I've unlimbered my camera, and I'll be taking lots of pictures as I build the fort. I'll then be adding explanatory text and diagrams as needed.
Materials:
- For base: Foamcore, cardboard or v. thin wood. I'd almost recommend wood - cardboard and even foamcore will warp when glue or water are encountered... Foamcore does have advantages, though, as I'll show in a bit.
- Styrofoam pieces - for the earthwork pieces
- Round toothpicks - for the stockade
- Paint - green and brown
- Grass material - flocking or sawdust or whatever you usually use.
- Dirt or sand
- Thinned white glue - thin 1:1 with water, mix well.
- Various paintbrushes
