Thanks! The height would be up to the length of the cocktail stick, which can be cut to taste. The pedestal isn't strong enough so needs redesigning. Would you like the steps and the wall included as part of the base? How large should the base be?

Personally, I think it would have more uses if you do not include the steps and wall, brilliant though they would look. The column on its own, without any base bigger than that necessary for it to stand up, could be used in a lot more locations.

Best,

I've got some H&R 6mm. I'll dig them out later today and take a photo of them together.

That would be great.

You could always keep the steps and wall as optional extras, mind you, people who use the laser cut bases could probably knock up their own. Just a thought.

Here's the Mars la Tour cross as it is now.





As the pillar is a cocktail stick (or whatever else you'd rather use), it's up to you the height of the monument. The stick fits through all the steps, so is pretty stable. However, a alternative base can be substituted.

Here's a pic with 6mm figs and a Pendraken 10mm.

Cheers, Michael

Any day now. And I've designed another village tap to add a little more temptation.

I'm all set to finalise the Mars la Tour cross. As this is not a period I have detailed knowledge of, I'm happy to put it out there one last time in case I've not hit the mark.

I think I've pushed MDF pretty much as far as it can go, especially in relation to what can be threaded onto a cocktail stick! I also have to be pragmatic and keep in mind the limited number of these kits that will potentially sell.

I've perhaps heightened the walls but I had an eye on modellers wanting a generous amount of room to add a layer of grout/paste to the ground level as I have done. I left off getting too carried away with the MiniBits static grass not to obscure the model too much!

Fantastic. Not just a production but a painting guide as well.

For the tabletop, I wouldn't bother with the artist's ray of heavenly light, though!  ;D
