I will take some pictures of part of one castle with some 28mm figures so that you judge for yourself. :)

And the same figure, this time on a Zvezda wall section.

If you get your hands on a zvezda one i would advise to buy it.
Much easyer to assemble and more on scale. Their stockade is perfect for 28mm too.

Miniart plastic is awfull to assemble, takes time to glue and the pieces dont join properly.
And before you paint something you better wash the plastic or else it will repell the paint.

Rumacara,

You just saved me a lot of money :) many thanks!

What are the measurements of the Zvezda walls? (maybe I just might buy the new Renedra walls  ???)

The Zveza walls are 9,5 cm tall.
I dont know the Renedra ones.

Miniart buildings are notoriously hard to assemble in the circles of scale modelling. The wrk you have to put in order to make it look right, is equal if not more from building one from scratch

The Zveza Castle, has anyone on here actually built and painted one straight from the box? I've had one for years but never got round to fettling it and could do with a bit of inspiration.
