Strongholds for the Crusades

Another Project. Ebay bargains, going to be extending the height of these for 28mm



If it isn't enjoyable, it isn't gaming!

Oh I am so following this.

Please take detailed work in progress pictures. I am keen to see how you will add height.

Great castles and a lot of potential conversions but beware with the plastic.
You may have issues in gluing some parts and painting.
Wash/clean the plastic before painting.

Yes I am aware, but thanks for the reminder.

Will be using various materials, like expanding foam, plywood, Balsa, Possibly MDF?

I just realised the table was set for dinner - I was going to ask what you're using the salt and pepper mill for; and then I realised they'd be fine for an east european (and more modern) appearance.  :D

Will be interesting to see the embiggening process.
