During the various Crusades over its approximately 400-year history of conflict, many groups built fortifications. The Knights Hospitalers and Knights Templar throughout Syria, Lebanon and Israel constructed some of the best examples of medieval castles. Since Andy has given us the opportunity to collect this fascinating time period, I have been thinking about dioramas that would be appropriate for these beautiful figures. He has even begun the process by giving us a siege machine (the tower).
I have searched the Internet extensively in the last few years as a result of this hobby of ours and I have found few quality castle structures I am willing to purchase. Imex makes a couple of Arthurian style 54mm plastic castles, one with round turrets and one with square, but they are plastic and are not of the same quality (IMO) of sculptured miniature metal figurines like those of K&C and some other manufacturers. I am not putting plastic down, I am just trying to compare apples to apples. Formtech does make a castle façade, but it too is not of the caliber I would like to use as I collect my future K&C knights and Muslims.
Does anyone know of any source for quality diorama material for this era If so, please do post the web site address for all us forum members. I believe that this series will be popular and that many exciting pieces are forthcoming. Perhaps some of the dealers who read this forum will begin to offer new products or find existing lines to sell.
