Further to my earlier post about some 15mm ancient city walls and buildings I'd made, I thought some evidence of violent siege would be in order. So I made these.
The idea was to have damaged sections that would match lengths of unbroken wall, so that these could be substituted in as necessary.
Mind the gap
The centre bit of wooden wall could also be removed to leave a gaping hole, if that was needed.
Rear view
The walls were made from cardboard and polystyrene fixed together with PVA glue. Fine sand was then glued to the walls and painted. The piles of masonry were made from polystyrene offcuts and were intended to hold the wooden wall in place.
Something appears to be missing
Liberated wooden coffee stirrers were used to make the planking, undercoated in black then painted with a dark earth colour. A couple of black washes were applied and then the wood was drybrushed with a beige or buff colour.
Time to get the decorators in
Overall, I think they've worked quite well. Just need a siege to try them out...
What, no crenellations?
To be honest, the damage is barely noticable
