I've been commissioned by the municipality of Gradara in Italy to make a 28mm version of their castle town for an event in December/Christmas.

It'll be on six boards of 1200mm square each and there will also be a few boards including siege works that'll go around the front and one of the sides of the main build.

Got a few samples and the scope of the work. Not a lot but there has been a lot of preparatory work 'behind the scenes' as it were

Oh wow! This looks like it'll be an incredible project! Definitely looking forward to seeing how this goes!

Wow! This will be truely epic

From the size of the table vs the figure scale and actual ground scale, does 28mm work, or do you need to do some compression?

What a tremendous undertaking

A marvellous subject for your skills James. We visited Gradara and walked the walls while holidaying in the area with our family.

The table will be 2400mm x 3600mm and I spent a few days messing around with scaling etc but it hasn’t needed that much really. There’s a few parts that have had to be moved to allow for the baseboard joints (towers etc) but it’s not overly apparent.

Going to be a great watch this.

Will it be in the shop afterwards?

Holy Smokes, that's a project-and-a-half. Congrats on the commission. I'm sure it'll be a spectacular model once done.

Yeah but the postage will be a killer

That’s truly fantastic

Yikes, that's going to be a big job! 8 foot by 12 foot, did I read that right?

Who's going to be responsible for the figures?

And I gotta ask.... once completed, how on earth do you safely transport it to Italy??
