Manor house walls

I'm putting together bits and pieces for the ECW project, with this in mind I bought some nice walls.I thought these could be used for various manor houses and the like.

I decided to use up some old plasticard for the bases. This is tricky stuff compared to card but it should be tougher.





I maybe should of got another set but I'm trying to keep the spending down and this lot was about £22 off eBay. I could always get some more if needed.

At least I can always trace around the bases now to speed up the basing process.

A broken wall gets some extra stones to finish the effect.

I angled the edges to create a slight slope to the base.
The walls aren't too high, just tall enough to make an attacker think twice.








 
Here are some reference shots I took while walking. The grey effect looks great for a really old wall.



















A bit of flock changes everything up. Just some tufts to add now when the flock is dry.







I placed some tufts along the outside of the walls.
