Midweek Modelling 16-2

Hello and welcome to another edition of Midweek Modelling, where I usually show off what I've painted and been up to with the actual hobbying aspect of the hobby. Having had a bit of a busy week I didn't paint as much as I'd like to have done. I painted another 4 tanks red so they'll fit in with my Imperial Guard army, though they are awaiting their final two coats of highlights before they are ready for having flames painted on. I'm also working on Apophis' Prussian battlefleet (congrats on graduating, btw!) and the Space Marine Diorama. All are progressing at various speeds, but nothing worthy of photographing as of yet.

That sounds this'll be a bit of a boring MM post, no? Well, I do have something for you. As I'm sure you've noticed, I am in the process of setting up a Blood in the Badlands campaign. )Lots of fun, can recommend it to everyone.) However, some of the battles, a few of the End of Season special scenarios and fights on certain tiles, require players to play a siege. Sieges sounds like they're a hoot and a half to play, but they require one bit of terrain you wouldn't normally use: a Fortress...
Now, I don't know about you, but I for one do not have a suitable Fortress in my not-inconsubstantial terrain collection. I could obviously buy one from GW, but that one is a bit generic and not to mention somewhat expensive. I could also make one myself, which I have already done once in the past. I used corrugated cardboard, duct tape and a nice wallop of textured paint. Servicable and cheap, not that much to look at. Don't know what happened to it.

Anyway, while I haven't been up to anything like that (though I might in the future) I received a few suggestions yesterday that I'd do a post on making a Fortress. Never one to back down from a challenge (especially not when I see an easy way out), here's what I have come up with.

The Thunderstomp insta-Fortress! Ready in under 30 minutes! Just add water! (don't really add water, btw. That'll ruin it, and not in a good way.)
