'Water Feature' from AdamC: Island Battery

When I saw this bonus round I was at a loss until I remembered I had a pair of 1/2400 scale 8" turrets thus this harbour island battery was born. Its all scratch built with pieces form my bits box.

The Island rises two levels of press board above the thin plywood base.  The Turrets are from my HMS Exeter model I built over the summer the rest of the bits are left over from 15mm tanks.

I've very proud of this details the jetty, dock and the path that leads up toe the armoured door leading to the under ground facilities for the fort. One small pill box over looks the entrance and a second one over looks the dock just in case someone should try some commando raid.  Getting supplies to and from an Island Fort is a key consideration and I am glad I thought to include this detail on the model.

The Turrets are magnetised but the are a bit too firmly attached to rotate easily still it can be done if I need to.  There is a small hatch in the upper left corner as a secondary access if there should be a need to get out the underground portions of the fort in a hurry.

The the upper right is a the main observation tower its the most visible portion of the fort and will probably draw lots of fire, there is a secondary command post at ground level in the centre.  To the lower left is another small pill box to guard the beach (though the beach has some nasty surf so an assault that way is probably a bad idea anyway.)

The rear of the island is a cliff or it could be the edge of the map since I think in most cases this will appear on the edge of the table. OK terrain points

Its 6.5 x 4 x 1 inch in area that 26 Cubic inches.

So that would be 4 points on top of the bonus points.
