Bavarian Castle

Before you say it. Yes i'm officially mad. I have started building the terrain for next years CP6 Cold War Commander MegaGame. This is the first of German/Austrian themed terrain that I plan to produce over the coming months and with the 'Headquarters' nearing completion I will have plenty of space to work on the table plans. I also have a commission with Timecast in its early stages. More on that in later posts.

So this is the first piece, a Bavarian Castle using a Kibri Z Scale Railway model.

Not a bad model although some of the fits weren't the best and involved a fair bit of green stuff.

Castle with a couple of US Engineering units parked up. The Castle was based on one of the large 2mm MDF Scenic Bases from East Riding Miniatures. They do a great range of different size bases.

Close up showing the engineering units at the base of the castle walls.

The communications tower is made from a HO/OO scale street light from a fantastic little shop I found in Barcelona which sold huge amounts of model railway stuff. It is based on a 1p coin so it can be repositioned if required. The idea being the castle can be used as a communications centre and therefore be an objective during games.

Still got a few finishing touches to do like the window shutters and windows.

Thanks for looking.
