I found this fantastic scratch-built model here, though I'm sure it was done to a different scale:

I really love how it mixes in ancient/medieval desert elements with SF accents. Check out all 6 pages and you'll see what I mean.

Here's another fine example, but with step by step photos:

QUESTIONS:

1) Has anyone here ever tried making such a structure (or something similar) for 15mm gaming?
2) If so, what floor plan did you follow, if any?
3) What materials did you use?
4) Did you encounter any specific challenges while building it?
5) Got pics to share?

Thanks,

Dan
PS. I can actually imagine someone using something like that for Farscape, Firefly and lots of other themes.

LOL. Well I definitely have enough MDF and expanded polystyrene for a few of those palaces!

@ Earthman
That is just so unbelievably great I can only imagine the fun of it all.

Good isn't it? A lot of Teutonic Efficiency™ in that set up!

@Eli
I can just see some of your Prang guards stationed outside the palace…

Cacique Caribe11 Apr 2014 12:40 p.m. PST

That could BE a Prang palace!
