Very nice! That's a useful set.

Your idea to raise the height of the tower seems the way to go--though could you just add base to the tower and attach the wheels to the new base, rather than making new wheels, etc.?

I think I'll have to do both

Pretty nice. That castle is doomed.

Wow they look great from Zvezda….I never knew they could do that.

Wow they look great from Zvezda….I never knew they could do that. I think the 1/72nd fits in very well with 28mm.

Very nice paint work, and assemblage! Looks fantastic!… The boys in the castle are doomed. bgbboogie, there is a lot of variation in height, for 1/72 figures. The best thing, if interested, is to look stuff up on Plastic Soldier Review's web site. They give great reviews, including measured sizes of figures, and equipment, such as these. I have searched through their listings, quite a few times, in search of figures to use with my fantasy games. That way I know what I am getting (for size, quality, and quantity), before the package arrives. Cheers!

@Scot--is that a Hudson & Allen castle?
Henry Martini	05 Mar 2014 6:50 a.m. PST
While the siege tower looks OK with 28mm figures, the other Zvezda pieces look too small; hardly surprising, I suppose, given their scale.

Yes. Hudson and Allen Castle. Mine recently achieved drinking age. :) Scot
