Castell de Mur in 1:72
One of my next projects will be a Spanish motif. The Castell de Mur in the foothills of the Pyrenees in northeastern Spain.
I came across this relatively small castle, which dates back to 969, on Pinterest. The castle is relatively simple but very interesting. It’s also a completely different construction style.
The castle is approximately 31 meters long. Perfect for a model in this scale.
I also wanted to build the castle and its monastery in 1:160 on a 188 cm base. However, I may not do that, even though I had already printed the monastery.
You need a lot of references for this, don´t you. Almost an archeological work. Over Pfingsten, I will visit the Burgenmuseum on Veste Heldburg in Thuringia. I hope they have some models there.
Castel del Monte in Italy looks like an “easy” job.
I’m sorry, but neither castle is for me. I only build small castles, which would take up a maximum of 1.50 x 0.8 meters. That’s the absolute maximum…unless someone would pay me the rent for a hall.
My next castle will be Reichenstein Castle in 1:72 scale.
But not next month… I’d say in the next few months.
I think I’ll use a stone wall instead of a palisade for the outer bailey.
How about Carcassonne (the whole city as well as citadel) in 1/35 scale? AliExpress has some very nice 3D printed mounted, and foot knights, in battle in 1/35 scale (also 38 mm).
