Futuristic castle is an oxymoron but as it looks cool it is something you may want to build. This is how. The guide may be useful for any walls, not just fortresses.

Download plans in PDF. Note that they are scaled to be printed on an A3-sized paper sheet and that they are for a single wall section (so you need to have four for a classic castle shape).
Cut appropriate pieces from a cardboard sheet.
Glue the pieces together:
