The review of my last 3D Wooden Puzzle models from Iran is up on the blog: link This is the biggest and most impressive of the lot of them. |

Now I want to go to Iran. Never thought I'd ever type that sentence. |

These puzzles are impressive. What scale miniatures can be used with them? |

You really should go. We need more contact to build understanding between Iran and the West. We should have had a couple of US citizens on our tour but they had a visa issue at the last moment. Probably the fault of the US Government. The visa officer at the London consulate told me they play tit-for-tat with western governments (hence our visas cost £150.00 GBP!!). Who'd have thought the Iranian Government would apply game theory to international relations. This is the tour we did: link |

Condotta: The two palaces are 1:150th, so in theory you're looking at 10mm-15mm. In practice they look really good with my Hat/Zvezda plastics which are about 24mm (see my last but one blog posting with the battle report for pictures). I also have a 16th century palace building which is 1/400th and looks good with 15mm figures, and the tomb of Cyrus the Great which is 1/75th, and really dominates the table and is probably too big for anything except 40mm. |

Thanks, Trebian. Agree, more contact means more discourse and better perspective. |
