Hi, few pictures of my small project - roman watchtower. My plan is to use it as a forward outpost for my fort.

That is looking great. What did you use for the whattle fencing?

Really nice. I don't know if it's what this one is made from, but I've heard that strimmer line does a decent job for fence weaving.

Well, I made it using thin speaker cable and tooth picks. I just dismantled it (wire inside) and used just the elastic skin. Quite simple, cheap and easy to work with. :D

That looks mighty impressive!
What did you use for the roof? Did you buy it preformed or did you mold it from something?
