Zvezda Roman Fort
« on: February 07, 2012, 04:47:18 AM »
There's a 1/72 Roman fort kit by Zvezda that might be re-scaled. It represents a timber fort, but would require some scratch-built embankments.

For example (a semi-random link found through Google):

Would be great to have a comparison pic with some 28mm Romans if possible?

I could take a pic of a 28mm perry WotR fig next to a wall section or one of the towers (they are still intact) if that will do, but it is broken down into sections. I may have a picture of it built somewhere..Iīll have a look.

Perry WoTR one next to a wall section and one of the towers would be surely enough :)

 :D Amazing. Though it's 20mm-sized, it suits perfectly with any kind of medieval o roman 28mm miniature.

Very nice fort, honestly.
