Heroic Dreams - All Things Medieval

For the past couple of weeks I have had a run on sales of medieval castle projects and maybe this is because people have been finding the stuff I am writing about these projects. But I think it might be more that we are coming into the end of winter and people, being inside so long because of cold weather and snow have been looking for interesting projects to while away the rest of the season.

Either way these are just some nice projects regardless of the season. The first Medieval Castle here is one that I received as a gift and I really enjoyed it. If you look at it on Amazon.com you can see the review I wrote about it.

It is really amazing how wonderful a project like this looks when it is completed. For me there is something very appealing about miniature worlds.

Make This Model Medieval Castle (Usborne Cut-Out Models) I was given this project as a gift and thoroughly enjoyed it. You need to have some paper working skill to make it come out really good. I used a little too much glue when attaching the parts to the base so the base came out just a little wrinkled. When you do a project like this always be sparing with the glue. The subtle colors of this model are really nice.

Castles To Cut out and Put together

Cut and Assemble a Medieval Castle : A Full-Color Model of Caernarvon Castle in Wales. I like the idea that this is a replica of a real castle.

Make This Medieval Village Interesting idea to make a whole village. You could probably do some miniature wargaming with this.

Easy to make Castle  This one really has a great Stronghold Keep look about it. This says “easy to make” but it looks really nice.
