Love it! Maybe talk about the paints you used, color, brand, etc

...you were meant to pass it on to your kids and grandkids. Instead you whip out a jigsaw.

Awesome wok! My grandfather also made me a fort, I use to play with it every day as a kid. And I am in the process of making the fort again but with additional structures for myself and my daughter to play with. 😊

Fantastic video man. Incredible results too!

I like how you’ve turned something you love into something new yet keeping the originality of it and giving it a new life. I think your Grandad would be proud.

this was so enjoyable to watch thank you!

I couldn't change it. I'd have just had to set it on a frontier world.

Ah man. My inner metal scrapper is crying at the copper barrels. Perhaps there are aluminum or steel ones we can find...

That looks so metal! \m/

This was very heartwarming. My grandfather painted cars in a body shop for a living. I have a Reaver Titan I have been building and want to paint it with him as I finally got an air brush since he is getting up in years and wanna have a piece we worked on together.

Your gramps is 100% down with you 'up armoring' his fort! You're literally building on a great legacy! Awesome work!

you made a really stuning piece, this fort's legacy is good

Absolute awesome project, youre grandfather would be proud of you. Inspired me to start a Project like this one for my self. Good Job greetings form germany.

Some lovely ideas! The mesh you use, is that the aluminium stuff for car repairs or the fibre glass stuff for keeping out insects please? Affiliate link ?

Very nice!!!

Great work

Great work.

Can you make a special fort for the Astra Militarum alongside with a number of squads from different regiments? I’m a fan of the Imperial Guard and Tau Faction is my 2nd.

Fantastic build, would love to see that piece used in a full battle report to see if they recovered the asset ....

Hard to say what's cooler; space gothic knights or space gothic cowboys. Your first round of wash missed about 75% of the surfaces you probably wanted to hit, and you probably want to start with a darker wash; maybe 66% black and 33% brown. After the first wash I like weathering with a sponge and grey paint, I dry brush with it and drag it to make scratches, or dab it on corners to make it look like chipped paint. The only constructive critique I can think of is it still looks a little empty. If you are looking for more ideas, here's a bunch. Take the tops of the watch towers off move them to the ground level and build a outer half height perimeter wall around the outside with guard posts along a path leading to the fort portcullis. Print off more of those sentry guns for use down at ground level. Build solid towers with sentries/turrets at the top to replace the two watch towers. The walls of the fort would look more gothic if they were wider at the base then had sloped batters about 25%-33% up the height of the walls. Signs of beasts of burden being used; big round bales of hay, watering troughs, hitching posts. Signs of maintenance/mechanical things being used; tool chests, work benches, suspended fluorescent lighting fixtures, electrical power generators with fuel tanks and associated plumbing as well as electrical conduit mounted to wall to thing that would use power, air compressors and compressed air tanks with plumbed hard lines mounted to walls and soft hoses running to tools at work benches, hydraulic pumps and tanks with hard lines running to giant robotic arm cranes, or vehicle lifts. Evidence that this is a dangerous place justifying the fort; blaster marks on the walls, or maybe even arrows fired into the walls and watch towers. Evidence of commerce; vendor stalls maybe someone selling food (cactus and root vegetables), or weird animals and tentacles and stuff, maybe someone selling antiques, maybe some old hag lady with a table doing tarot card readings, it'd be really cowboy if there we some "ladies of the evening" if you catch my drift. Evidence of it being habitable; rooms, lodging, saloon, public baths, water fountains or features, tables/chairs/etc.

Why would you do this to that beautiful piece of art your grandad gifted to you...

What an awesome build!

What a awesome way to Up cycling a childhood toy

You're grandfather would no doubt be proud to see his craftmanship and creativity survive and passed on. What he made went further than he thought, or just as he planned XD. When I have grandkids, I'd be telling myself, "I hope this inspires them to make things", and you showed it did.

So sorry to hear about your grandad. But what a cool way to honor his memory👍

Its impressive what a difference populating the floor out made

Well done - looks great

My uncle made a fort similar that I eventually repurposed for 40k. After I grew up and moved out I left the fort behind and my dad eventually re-purposed it for my nephew. These things are amazing gifts that keep on giving :)

Lovely work. I'm sure you did your grandpa proud by getting this fort ready for another generation worth of play.

Im sure your granddad is nodding. Pretty awesome, my man 👍🏻

very talented build, credit to both yourself and your grandfather. -also like your little show piece at the end, great use of Dawn of War voice lines.

I don't think I'd have had the heart to chop up and change something so sentimental as this, that being said, great conversion!

can't believe your channel has less than 1,000 subscribers. well done man, can't wait to see how far you go

Awesome video and I loved the narrative glamour-shots in the ending! You got yourself a new subscriber for sure

This is actually nearly perfect rendition of the topmost landing platform from the novel Brutal Kunnin', down to the Centurion plate.

I don't think I would ever had a heart to change smth like this. On the other hand, wooden fort is still there. and it's giving it a new life.

I would not have done something like this, to change something as sentimental as something my grandfather built. HOWEVER, you did a great job and I think you should be proud of what you did. I do have a question: why are all your 3d prints green? Is there a reason behind this choice of PLA filament/resin or is that what was on hand or cheapest?

Great work as always 👍👍

That looks so good. I love terrain that has a narrative element to it. It's so much better than L shape ruins everywhere. Thanks for sharing!

such an awesome piece of terrain with such a cool story. 10/10 mate

Great job! Love that you were able to repurpose the fort built by your grandfather. Final piece turned exceptionally well.

Incredible video, I wish I could do what you do.

Awesome work!!! Seen a few other vids like this.... may have to do one....🤔🤣

Lookin good! I also greatly appreciate the shout out to Mel as he’s been a massive inspiration to me over the years and is having a hard go of it at the moment.

Great video, thanks for sharing. Def going to try this. You had some creases that didn't look like they came from the packing of the sheet. What do you think caused this.

great video

Using the tooth pick to make the fluff go together was a trick i never knew

Thanks for the £ to $ Conversion. Great vid

Very nice, I should try a roller on my next mat.
