When I’d finished preparing the Jenga-block walls and painted the original Leven castle pieces I realised I was a bit short of what I was planning on. So I whizzed off an order to Mr Leven for some more, including a few bits I thought might work for a ‘Vauban fortress’. Sadly the latter didn’t entirely work out but the pieces are still useful for their original design purpose.
Here are the bits and bobs, together with the previous walls. Hopefully I’ll get to paint them at the weekend.

| A couple of railway tunnel entrances will be handy for a fortress gateway. |
 |
| Some very fine harbour walls, in the role they were built for. |
 |
| Castle keep, some curved walls, a couple more towers, and a nee gatehouse |
 |
| Another view of the same with the harbour walls in the guise of a Demi-lune. I was hoping these would be useful for making a bastion, but the footprint (about 70mm) is too big for my 6mm ground scale but OK for the 10mils. |
The quality of the Leven pieces is rather good, and they came very well protected. Just a bit of filing of edges required to get some of them to fit smoothly together.
One final phase of the castle will be to make some round towers for the outer wall. Just waiting for the kitchen foil to be used up.
