I'd like to see more men at arms levies etc sure the Knights are great but more sets like the spear men and shield wall perhaps some archers of light cavalry like hoblars I'm saying this from a war gamers point of view value at sets are fantastic and I'd like to fill out my whole 12th century army with your miniatures.

Archers
Crossbowmen in action
Light cav (holblers,scurryers)
Peasant levies
Mounted/dismounted sergeants

just some ideas

Sorry I'm a bit late on posting to this thread but I thought I'd share my limited experience on this.
I know this is in 28mm so slightly larger but I want to build a 1:72 scale fortress in the new year

First build the basic structure out of thick card so you know the basic lay out


Then add in walls floors parra pits doors windows and spray black the reason you need to spray it at this stage is so once the texture is on you don't have card showing through and it's easier than spraying on the texture paint


Next cover with clear thick texture paint and using a scalpel carve in the brick work while the paint is still drying once the texture paint is dry using a thick brush paint over with grey using a drybrush technique as you want the black to show through the cracks a bit. Then add roofs made of card


Paint a few bricks in other shades add flock and gravel as well as any other detail and you are good to go

I know this one is rather basic and poorly detailed as far as dioramas go but it was my starting point hopefully my next one will be better

mate this is great the face is sensational though i really like the effects you got on the furs and cloak well done mate i wish my work was half as good as yours

Question what period is this for does it fit into the 12-13th centuries to match the miniatures or is it more a 14th century type of building?

First thank you for adding me to your forum.

My project is in fact just to start collecting 1:72 medieval figure i just found this site i was amazed by the models so i went down to my local hobby shop only to find out because i'm in Australia Valdemar miniatures are hard to get. so i though i would start with what ever i could get my hands on so i got a box Caesars crusaders to get me started.
