Walls suitable for 15th century?
« on: 02 May 2018, 09:25:25 PM »
I'm looking at some very nice walls from Debris of War here.

https://www.debrisofwar.com/store/c2/28mm_%2F_0%2F_H0_Gauge_Walls.html

Which of these would be most historically accurate for the late 15th century? Central Europe.

I'm thinking some sort of perimeter wall for a manor house, monastery or parkland.

These ones look the most appealing to me...



But then there is this one - taller, so makes a bit more sense in terms of its purpose and why it would be attacked, but not quite as aesthetically pleasing to me.



However it does have this ruined section, which would suggest a great scenario idea - attacking the breach.




Which of the two looks the most historically accurate for the 1450-1500 period?

The latter two although nice they look too perfect to my eyes.

I’ve used the debris of war walls for 20th century, they are nice but didn’t scream Middle Agesto me.

You might find this useful, I’ve fiddled with a prototype and you can make some interesting pieces with it:
