Ishoo Firty-Free: Steampunk Watch Tower

Long, long ago in the mists of time, I spent many a happy hour playing Warcraft III. And as a result, I hatched a plan to build an Empire tower based on the Alliance watch tower design. So I started to collect 1 Litre ice cream tubs. I even had a name for the tower, and a scenario based around it, but sadly, Fort Trollengerschpanken was never built.

Then I got enthusiastic about it again just recently. Thing is, HGC doesn't really need more Warhammer terrain, so I decided to build a Warmachine watch tower, and changed the name to Fort Trollkingerschteamen.

Anyway, the newly re-christened watch tower is a visually arresting building, perfect for an objective or centrepiece. And as you may have guessed from the pattern emerging in previous ishoos, it is so easy even a hippo could do it! And fortunately Grot's gotten over the chicken suit fiasco since I bribed him with a set of steam driven power armour, so he can show you just how easy it is! Take it away Grot!

Note: The cog here comes from the inside of one of those handy dandy asthma inhalers, I'm sure something similar could be found elsewhere.

And there you have it hippo fans! Of course, you could easily turn this basic design into a fantasy tower by removing the crane, pipes and chimneys, and replacing the metal shutters with either wooden shutters or diamond pane glass.
