One of our more popular releases over the last year or so has been the Modular Castles<\/a> in the Small Scale Scenery<\/a> range – one of which is even going to appear in a TV show (of which more another day…).<\/p>\n

Today sees an extension to the range with a new set of components for German\/Polish Crusader castles, such as the magnificient Marienwerder<\/a> (now Kwidzyn Castle) and Marienburg<\/a> (Malbork castle). These were constructed primarily of brick rather than stone so have a distinctive red\/orange hue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As with our previous castle sets, we’ve provided a set of components (walls, keep, gatehouse, towers) that you can mix and match to create a historical prototype or make your own design. They’re compatible with any of our existing components so you can use those as well. <\/p>\n

The five new parts are a large keep with corner tower, based on Lochstadt Castle, now in Russia; a barbican (a fortified structure used to protect the far end of a drawbridge or entrance bridge); a new gatehouse design (taken from Malbork Castle); and sets of walls with covered walkways, including ones with small integral defensive towers.<\/p>\n
