Hadrian’s Wall<\/a> marks what was the northern limit of the Roman Empire, spanning England from the River Tyne to the Solway Firth. It runs for 73 miles and was built to keep the Picts in check. Much of the base of the wall is still in existence, although in the Middle Ages it was used as an easy source of building materials so none of the upperworks remains.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today’s new release in our Small Scale Scenery<\/a> range is a pack<\/a> containing a roughly half-mile section of the wall. It consists of 15 50mm-long sections, which works out at 750m in total at 1\/1000th scale (so only 146 packs would be needed to model the entire wall…). One of the sections has a gated mile-castle while two others have watchtowers built in. The wall had 80 milecastles, roughly one Roman mile apart as the name suggests, with two watchtowers in between each one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since none of the remaining wall above 10 feet remains, the exact design of the upper wall and towers isn’t known. I’ve looked at several different reconstructions and have gone with a simple pitched roof design. Every five miles were a series of larger forts, which will form part of a later release.<\/p>\n

Of course, at such a small scale this model would have potentially many other uses, such as creating the perimeter of a walled town.<\/p>\n
