That looks like it has a lot of potential.

Have to agree it's very nice, but how much is this gonna creep the price up when you cast some for yourself and for trades?

I'm assuming you haven't got into costings yet but I imagine making each side out of three pieces is going to be pricey.

Don't want to be a party pooper, cos the modularity is a really nice touch, but personally I'd only be interested in a standard one, and wouldn't want to be put off by costings.

Will do only resin ones so price should not be an issue - moreover the printing will be only a third of the "block" version.

I'd like some too! :)

The ideal would somehow for it to be made at normal size so it looks right and in scale, but for it somehow to me made more biggable if desired. If everything is made bigger scale watch for the scale of the parapet - want troops to be at the right height to see and shoot down. Also the heavy bolters might get a bit lost in the larger walls. Maybe people could just have the correct sized one and balance a rectangular stand on top or place it next to it?

Cool thing if it is modular though is you could use the bits to make city wall sections or a huge big fortress in the same style.

Aha! Forget my concerns, everyone round here seems to be using metal so I was a bit confused.

Full endorsement commences!

Metal could be done but only the way Apocolocyntosis does - doing a bronze master would possibly cost too much (and I doubt we can trade for enough to return this investment). Moreover I think resin is fine for terrain stuff ...

Resin's better for terrain IMO and also paint chips off less.

Oh very promising, I could see myself wanting a couple dozen, depending on price of course.
Great work :)

The current plan was:

Create it properly scaled (1:5) to the original but make it modular to be able to do bigger versions with ease. The standard bulwark would not be able to hold an infantry stand (you could place it on top however) but the bigger bulwarks will.

Scaling it not 1:5 is also an option but I think I will not take this route...

Here's what you can easily do with the parts:
