Fort Annetta in Queens bay

After a reassuring visit to the barracks of the 1st Quinnsville Fusiliers, Captain Nathaniel Brickford's next stop was the newly completed Fort Annetta.

Situated on a rocky island in Queens Bay, it made the perfect spot for a defensive position. It is only accessible by boat during high tide and is heavily guarded.

There is a small guardhouse before the main entrance to the fort. Behind it is a favorite fishing spot for some of the stationed troops.

Having been recently completed, the main living area hasn't been fully completed so the men have to sleep in the main courtyard.

The basement, which will be used for the main living quarters, is currently a storage area with boxes and crates of supplies to be unboxed and set up.

 

Dear Captain Jno. Cooke, RN,

I have just finished my visit to the newest defensive position in Quinnsville, Fort Annetta. Having been recently completed, the interior is still being set up, but the guns are set up and in full working order. Before too long it will be able to adequately defend the entirety of Queens Bay along with the other small forts that are nearby. I will be heading back to the military district of Quinnsville and will update you again with my finding. So far I am quite pleased with how Sir Smaugton left the fortifications of the settlement.

 

In service to her Majesty,

Captain Nathaniel Brickford,

Military Attaché to Quinnsville

 

Another build that was quite fun! For now i'm going to leave it unlicensed until further notice, but I couldn't not make a fort! C&C are welcome and apprecieated and thanks for looking!

Excellent fort Blackbird. I like your attention to detail, and the dark tan mixed with the white is very nice. Forts are always fun to build, and I like what you did with this one.

Thank you! I was originally going to use masonry bricks, but I saw this building style and decided to do it instead!

That's a heavily armed fort you got here, and the reef thingy looks great!

[Professor Thaum]

That's a great one ! Really  well done... hope the entrance is not to low and could support high tide

[Spud The Viking]

Really nice fort! I like the castellations and use of dark tan. To take it up a notch I'd like to see a variation of tiles and plates on ground/floor surfaces to make it look even better.

If I may add something, with LDD or Stud.io you can easily tile the whole built, I think it may have a better rendering fully tiled

Thanks! We can just say it's at high tide now...

Thanks Spud! That's a technique that I need to implement more often...

Yeah, in LDD it's pretty easy. Like I told Spud, that's a technique that I need to implement more often...

Nicely done, really digging the colors on this fort!  Excellent texture and rockwork, and the storage area down below is a great detail!
