Miniart 1:72 Scale Medieval Castle Plastic Model Kit, Gray

Excellent sturdy back drop for reenacting the middle ages

The most important thing to say is that this model is definitely not for beginners. I have over 50 years of modelling experience with military figures, vehicles and railways, and I can honestly say that I have never come across a more difficult model to assemble. There are many parts to the whole kit, and every sub-assembly is tricky to glue together due to a lack of locating tabs which is the norm with the majority of kit manufacturers. Also do not fit together well and consequently need a lot of filling before painting. However, after the frustration of the build, and filling and painting, the castle looks pretty impressive. It was just what I wanted for my railway layout for a Changing of the Guard scene. By the way, the kit is modular, so I was able to assemble it differently to that shown on the instructions by rearranging the towers, and length of walls using a Dremel.

Still in the process of building and I am enjoying the challenge. Box states ‎"8 years and up" but I assume thats playing with it after its built. The parts are fiddly, a scalpel blade essential and perhaps a bit of filler at the end. Parts do not have a locating points so joining is complex. I would suggest bolstering up joints (matchsticks and extra plastic) to give added strength.Having said that, I'm thoroughly enjoying the model and pretending its for the grandchildren. Good value for money, but complex to build.

Great Kit but be warned not for beginners expect a lot of sanding cutting and filing to make parts fit. Compatible with other kits in the range so you can make a larger castle if you wish, I've brought this and the 'medieval fortress' kit to combine to make a model castle loosely based on Dolwyddelan/ Castell y Bere . I'll try to add a photo when I've finished building in about 3 years time.

Terrible kit. Fiddly, really awful to put together. Absolutely tiny for 28mm models. Definitely not for wargaming at all and I'd be surprised if it even looked OK as a diorama as the walls are as thin is paper. Don't buy.

The photo on the box doesn't do this kit justice...A terrific model castle,ideal for diorama makers,or wargame enthusiasts alike.

Ok have done a quick dry run and agree this could be a tricky build ohhh dear how hard is my life, this is a product from a Ukranian company based in Kiev !!!! Just buy the castle every little helps.

Pieces difficult to cut from sprue

Great set to build its HUGE btw in 1:72 scale its almost perfect. I took a chance of this because im quite fond of the sellers sets im having a blast with building it. Mind you this isnt for people just getting into the hobby they may find this set over whelming with the amount of tweaking sanding and cutting it takes to get everything flush together.

Prodotto e spedizione come da descrizione, iniziato il montaggio con piccole modifiche, non facile per principianti, necessita di colla.

I really like the brand this is the third model I’ve bought and from them. This is what I would call a master series model or expert level .Are use crazy glue Elmers glue and I do multiple coats of paint. Love it.

Maquette grande et pleine de détails, idéale pour les dioramas ou un jeu de figurines historiques, s'adapte parfaitement à des figurines de 28mm ou même légèrement plus grandes comme les GW.Seul avertissement, difficile à monter pour les débutants je pense, il faut parfois "deviner" l'organisation du montage et faire des tests. Mon expérience dans ce genre de maquettes m'aura bien aidé.

thank you very much for my item very quick. cool
