Kingmaker spoilers follow...Here's some pictures of the "Stag Lord Fort" I created using techniques inspired by the DM's Craft. This was my first attempt at creating a cardboard based gaming aid. I prefer making things that are 3D and to (gaming) scale. It's not painted. I'm planning to paint future projects.
For those who aren't familiar, "Kingmaker" is a campaign published by Paizo. It's based on the Pathfinder ruleset, but I believe DM Scotty is running a version he converted to D&D 4e. At least, I heard him reference Kingmaker in one of his videos. Anyways, in the early portion of the campaign, the PCs are tasked with dealing with a band of bandits lead by someone known as the Stag Lord. This is the bandit's home base.
This is a top-down view of the front of the fort. Top roofs of the three look-out towers can be removed to move miniatures around. The black dots are the "grid" I built into the model. My players aren't ready to go "grid-less", yet. The palisade is actually three different sections that are held together with strips of duct tape that have been folded in half (lengthwise, glue side in) and then hot glued to the sub-sections of walls. These duct tape "hinges" allow me to have walls that can stand on their own without needing any other support. The hinges also allow me to have round walls. There are 4 sub-sections of walls to each main section. Each sub-section consists of 10-15 "logs".

Top-down view, from front, with the roofs of the look-out towers removed. If you look close at the palisade walls on the sides, you can see the duct tape hinges I mention above.

Close-up view of the rear look-out tower. The top part of the tower pulls off to show the room below. The vertical strip of cardboard below the window that the miniature is looking out from is there to hold the top of the tower in place.
