Who makes the the resin buildings for Leon?  Perhaps they'd be interested in a commission.

What happen to the Castle Arts ones - I think these were part of the range of buildings Pendraken bought?

John at Ironclad's health issues and then his trouble finding new premises for the business have pushed most of our new resin releases back considerably.  We've got the second half of all the Peninsular buildings to get done, then the rest of the Castle Arts buildings back online, and then planned new building ranges for Korea and the Indian Mutiny.  Once John's settled in his new place and back on top of things, we'll have a chat and hopefully schedule things out for 2022.

@Leon missed your update - thanks for that, but sounds like not a quick process

Will be cool to see photos of this with 10mm figures - to see if it is big enough to look imposing as a castle - as terrain, or is a bit small vs figures

It's to go with my 3mm Oddzial Osmy Samurai so it's slightly small if it were actually representing Edo Castle but It will be a generic lesser castle and basically scenery so being a little small should be fine. It's hard to get 3mm buildings of any sort, let alone Senguko Jidai era Japanese ones!

It's going to be pretty close for 3mm figures - and should look suitably imposing. 

I'd still be interested to see what 10mm figures look like near it, if you get a chance to take some photos.

When I get it built I'll stick some random 10mm next to it but it is going to look pretty tiny I suspect.

Fujimi/ Doyusha also do Edo Castle in 1/350 scale though it is, naturally, much pricier. Around £75 if I remember correctly

And Ithoriel never badmouthed anybody's Wendyhouse terrain ever, ever again. The end. Goodnight, children.

FK, if there were 1/600 scale buildings available I'd use them. This isn't a case of there being perfectly good terrain that I am choosing not to use but rather of "When do you play a crooked wheel? When it's the only wheel in town!"
