Outpost XIII - The Picture Made It Look Easy...

Basic Structure

With any large project it’s always best to pick a starting point and have a rough plan in your head on how you’re going to proceed.

With Outpost XIII I decided to build the bastion base first. This would give me a solid foundation to work from both for the upper and lower levels. The base is made from two bastion kits; to make it a bit more solid internal supports were glued in to make it as strong as possible.

That was the easy part, the lower base was a bit more of a challenge. The main wall sections were made from 4 Imperial City ruin sections, however these were shorter than the bastion base so corner sections were needed.

Base Section

The corners were made from the flat parts of Bastion wall sections; these were then glues to the other wall sections to make the lower walls. The main doorway was made in the same way, a city doorway formed the centre with a Bastion wall section on either side, that I also had to do with the door was trim away one side so it all matched up.

The whole process wasn’t overly difficult but was fairly time consuming due to having to cut all the section and then fill the gaps afterwards (this project was going to take a lot of green stuff!!)
