Looking for medieval watchtower recommendations.

Asking if anyone has a recommendation for a tower similar to this? FDM suitable, naturally.

Any suggestions for bulding an Arthurian warband?

I’ve got build paralysis with my Romano Briton warband. I want to make sure I include four models as dismounted options for the cavalry. Aside from that, how have other people built theirs? I feel like I need to lean into the spears. Thanks.

Looking for recommendations on attaching two-step stringer to rock

I trying to figure out the best way to attach a set of steps to this rock face. From the sidewalk to the top of the rock is about 25 inches. My intent is to use a two-step stringer with a third step as the rock.

The rock face is quite uneven so I thought anchor a ledger to the rocks and attach the steps to that. I also thought using prefab metal stringer would make life easier as I only need two for up to 48 inch wide steps. This would mean only two points of attachment on the ledger.

Any other thoughts or methods? Thank you.

I need to set a concrete footing for a post close to the corner of this rock retaining wall. I'm looking for advice on the best way to create a form for the concrete. My plan was to use a post saddle. Thanks.

I finished the Viking Warband on the weekend.

Here are the last six warriors.
My plan is to focus on the Anglo Saxon next. Great models to build and paint. Maybe one day I’ll get a game in too.

Weapon options for Early Saxon warband

Hello,

I just bought the Early Saxon warband as was looking for recommendations on weapon options. I noticed spears are free in the builder, so is that an indication they should be spear focused? Thanks.

My first mini from Footsore. My experience with metal models are they’re usually a bit “soft” but these have nice, crisp details.

So, I have an irregular shape that I want to use to create a hole in another object. However, I want that hole to be a bit "fatter" to allow the two pieces to fit together when printed. Does Tinkercad offer a way to do this? When I worked in printing, we used to call this a spread or a fatty lol

Any information I’ve found so far identifies this style as much later than the dark age period.
