You still have the opportunity to be the first Pendraken Forum member to own a 10mm castle model whose design was built upon the requests of members of the Pendraken Forum.

If, like me, you prefer to do bigger battles with 6mm buildings, then Total Battle Miniatures do a very nice walled town with crenelated citadel in their 6mm Big Battalions Pike and Shotte range. It looks to me as though it would also suit later Medieval.

Like Leman, I am a proponent of using 6mm buildings (or Wendy Houses as  they are SO amusingly termed by some forum members) for big battles, rather than sharing the illusion of some that London consists of a pub, a church, and a cowshed, each of which is large enough to conceal at least a brigade within its footprint.    So much more realistic!

Anyway, getting back to serious matters, if you are willing to conside 6mm buidlings, you might do worse than to pop an e mail into the ether to Mick at Leven Miniatures. He has a beautiful range of walls and towers in development, and might be able to produce some in a reasonable timescale for you. Certainly worth an ask. They look great!

Just go online to Google Earth look at the castle/Fort if it is still there then build it I did Fishguard Fort in 28mm just for a static display I also have ground plans of
Manobier castle
Pembroke castle
Cillgerran Castle
Carew Castle
All these paper castles and Laser cut and current resin but none of them look anything like a real castle
so pick a real one and build it

Yeah ... but no, but ... that's not going to happen.

I'm definitely looking at 10mm.   

I don't see any problem using smaller scale buildings. Evidence indicates that buildings in medieval times were much smaller than we give them credit for.

If it works for you, go to it. I remain bemused by people who can get their heads around a 24 man battalion (or worse still brigade!) but can't make the same adjustment for terrain. Not saying you're wrong, just that it doesn't work for me ... Oh, OK, so maybe not saying you're wrong just that you're weird

Seems to me we're all weird (well, we knew that anyway .. except fsn ... and Fiercekitty .... and ......)

Whether we use 10mm or smaller scale buildings for our 10mm figures, how many of us really use 10mm scale terrain? For example, the typical heights of Oak, Beech and Pine trees are 20-30m (Oak), up to 50m (Beech) and 15-45m (Pine). This means if we choose to "match" our 10 mm miniatures with 10mm scale buildings, our matching "10mm" model trees should therefore be between 2 inches (5cm) and 10 inches (25cm) high - i.e, on average, some 6 inches (15cm high). How many of us use model trees as tall as 10 inches for our 10mm miniatures?  

And then there's the height of hills ..... 

A voice of reason which it would well behove us to heed.

40' - 90' palm trees to go with my 6mm Sumerians. If anything, a little on the big side!

Not to mention how big your model of Humbaba will have to be!

Fortunately I'm going more for Eannatum's era than Gilgamesh's so only have human sized foes to deal with.

No BAMs in my planned forces ... so far
