G'day everyone!


I was wondering if you guys could give me some tips from where to look for 6/10mm scale castles. I've tried to keep my out out for cheap Fish Tank castles aswell, as those usually are great for the scale and are dirt cheap.


I know Leven Miniatures lets you buy pieces to form your own 6mm castle, https://www.levenminiatures.co.uk/pages/castle.htm

Also Sally 4th produces 10mm MDF castles https://wargamesbuildings.co.uk/Castles/10mm-Scale-Castles


Thank you in advance!

Build your own out of card/paper?

Foldup Paper Models - walls, towers and a gatehouse available. Made for ~28mm, so a bit of re-scaling is required (print 4-up, maybe?).

Just wondering how those will hold up to the quality standard as I'm using resin cast 6mm buildings.

I wanted a 6mm Sumerian fortified town, so I made one .... out of Pendraken bases, some grey board and various Leven and Hovels resin buildings.

Nice job, Mike.  :-bd

p.s. @ Noktu: Magister Militum also sell a couple of resin Castle Keeps in 10mm.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

The kallistra castle is nice. It is big though, with lots of wall sections, and towers to go around a keep. It works well at a 1:1 figure scale, if you want something more representative for a mass battle game, then it might not be right. But if you want something to occupy a big chunk of the table, then its great.

This is parts of the Kallistra castle, occupying a good 3' square of the table.

Ithoriel that looks great!

I do think that maybe 10mm castles are a tad big indeed. Especially the fortifications.

Have anyone of you got any experience with the railroad scenery?
