Hi guys. I wonder if anyone knows of any castle or medieval ruin kits in or around 1/35 to use with common figure scales?

I really love castle (or bits there of) ruins and think they might work well with a ww2 scene, or a medieval figure in smallish scale.

I know Verlinden make a few. Are there any others?

Cheers.

Hi Phil,

make your own...! It's easy enough, cheap and the bits and pieces will fit your needs perfectly!

Rather convincing, don't you agree!

Cheers

Hi Phil,
I saw in Nuremberg a new system for building houses and castles from Spain. They use paper constructions that will be covered with ceramic stones and tiles. Unfortunatly, I did looks for the companies name.

Like Romain said
You can build your own very cheaply. I used matt board covered with plaster and balsa wood.

I posted several "walkarounds" on castles on PrimePortal, more to follow.

Thanks for posting that walkaround!!! Brilliant pics!! I must say I really loved my 6 years in Germany and this reminds me of that time a lot.
My favorite medieval places were Berg Elst the Marksberg(on Rhine)and of course Rotenberg Ob Der Tauber. But there were so many other places as well. Seems like there were castle ruins every 10 kms or so.
