I was watching a Mad Max style Gaslands Refuelled game played out on the Games Night YouTube channel a few weeks back and it inspired me to build a set piece fort for my own Gaslands games. Something in the style of the Mad Max Fury Road Xbox game where forts were built with lots of shipping containers. This would be a place to fight over or use as a haven objective to reach during a Gaslands road chase.
The name of the objective fort that the Big Rig had to reach in the Games Night video was called Fort Rust-n-Nails. I liked that. So, in the vein of imitation being the highest form of flattery, I've decided to nick the name. Behold, still under construction, Fort Rust-n-Nails (the Lesser, as the Games Night one was much bigger). So, behold, Lesser Fort Rust-n-Nails.
The fort already has a wire gate built for it. But I may attach it to a vehicle so the gate can be opened or closed by tacking control of the gate vehicle. Think Mad Max 2 with Mel Gibson where a bus was used as a gate. Could make an interesting objective in any siege game. Get over the wall and into the bus and the gate can be opened.
So, there is much to do still on this build. But as I don't have anything better to show off right now, I thought I would do a work-in-progress built post. By the way, I am just using PVA White Glue on this build and it's all been good so far. For the carboard 'corrugated iron' sheeting, I smother both sides of the cardboard in PVA glue to make it tough and rigid. That simple trick works wonders in making the cardboard tough as nails (so to speak).
Very early-stage construction
More under construction images: this time of the
Gaslands Ramp (see post here) I built and posted about previously. I realised that showing the under-construction photos might help show how I put the ramp together in the first place. Something I omitted to show in that previous post.
Lesser Fort Rust-n-Nails should take a while to finish. But I shall show off the end result when it's done.
