Building Da Fort

It's been a few months since I posted anything here, due to the fact that my town has been hit not just by the global plague that is currently rampaging largely unhindered through my country, but also by earthquakes, food shortages, and whatever the desert equivalent of a class 3 hurricane is. Fortunately, we're still alive and doing pretty well, all things considered. And although I haven't had a ton of free time between work, repairing the house after disasters, and staring blankly into the void, I have made some progress on a proper fort for my Morker boyz.

I actually started this fort over a year ago and the planning began long before that. Since my gang was the most obsessed with vehicles and gubbinz of any in our campaign, I wanted them to be based out of a remote fort on the far side of the Skid, where the the grots are unruly and the spanner boyz are even more eccentric than usual. I designed their fort to be built up against the side of an especially large chunk of the 'Ulk that had long since been stripped of any useful scrap. I also wanted to make the fort modular so that the other gangs could use the parts and swap in their own sections to make their own custom forts.

Like most of the gubbinz for my big trakk, my plan was to hold everything together with magnets. Since there were going to be models standing on top of the walls, I wanted to make sure that the whole thing didn't tip over if someone bumped the table. It also had to fit the dimensions for the fort scenarios and be tall enough that all the vehicles in the campaign could fit through the gate. Fortunately, my mob has the most ridiculously tall vehicles in the campaign, so hopefully this will accommodate everyone.

The project has changed quite a bit as the build has progressed, and there's still quite a way to go until it's ready to go on the table, but I'm pretty happy about the direction in which things are going.
