    It may just be my maths but at 1:1000 I make the whole fort 1.1 feet long. Even so for Ships at sea we only really need the facade facing the sea and a bit of the parade ground to simulate the target unless we are running Bomb Ketches.
    Bligh.

    Here's how I measured:
    I took a screen shot of the Google Satellite map and imported it to a graphics package.
    The red rectangle I created above the key was 120 pixels long.
    The one I created along the long axis of the fort was 500 pixels long.
    That made the fort a bit over 4 times the key.
    And the key was 500 feet.
