Not very romantic, but a fort like this would likely have a ditch (in Poser???) and earthen rampart (where they put the dirt from the ditch.) Also, some variation in log width and height may add to the realistic look. I have a rather crude ballista and battering ram, but a rolling seige tower ... now there's an idea! And a catapult or mangonel would finish it off. Nice 'Fort Consruction Set.'

Horse stall.. or paddock area, main building, fencerails, hitching posts, blacksmith's shoppe... (granted a bit extravagant... but don't we all want one?) for the fantasy minded... Dragon roosts, Griffin pens... jail cages... on the more realistis side though... roofing for select sections? like stick & straw or beam types... just a handfull of ideas ) Wizzard

Like the idea of hitching posts, pens etc. All the other stuff sounds more like full blown projects rather than accessories. Main buildings and siege engines are already planned for later release. The roofing sections also sound quite a good idea too. This may well be quite a large set of accessories by the time it is all finished.

pd, the "support stuff" for the horses and the like... Frame works for repair, Granted the blacksmith bit is a bit much ) a lot depends on the time frame... like a concession stand for a modern museum thing ) Are you selling it through the store or posting as free stuff? Thanx Wizzard

I will, hoepfully be selling it through the store. By frame works do you mean scaffolding for repairing walls etc? Possibly on wheels?

Rightio, they could be simple trusses.. like a work in progress type of thing , a simple A-Frame Hoist with rope? "box o sticks" as an additional standing area whilst effecting repairs... that type of thing. then there's the siege towers... but that gets back to the blacksmith thing ) When things get a bit more settled so I have an actual day off. I'll try to come up with something as an example..
