Quick and easy model of the great landmark, perfect for FogR, if a little small!

Not if set off at a distance beyond a large car park.
Incidentally - does this come from a range of kits  that might include Edinburgh Castle (or even Stirling in a pinch)?

I have come across this model of Edinburgh castle which might be useful ( pricey at $40 though):-

Or there are lots of card castles going around, you could build a 1/160 model of Hogwarts:-

Strange "mace head" architecture there.

@ML. Thanks for the link - they had only a few kits - pieces of Tower Bridge could be useful. As I rummaged around looking for the manufacturer I stumbled on to this:

Models made from metallic sheets around $9 each. Top is the Black Pearl, below is the Golden Hind. Else where was the Queen Anne's Revenge. Based on the dimensions maybe be somewhere in the n scale range. The pirate lads over in another thread maybe interested!
Heck - I might try one myself.

@GOM thanks for those pics - I would like the Ed castle but - yeah - pretty pricey for a one or two use backdrop!
The card stock is intriguing. I am making card stock buildings for use with FPW - for which I may actually have enough stuff done for the 150th anniversary.! :)
