Zomboe's print of tc_fea's Minature Castle

About ten months ago there was an amazing bunch of modular sets uploaded to Thingiverse:

1. Dungeon Tiles for Miniatures Gaming by Telvin_3d
2. Improved Dungeon Parts by TheRooster¹
3. Dungeon tiles by scottmac
4. Modular Dungeon Walls by zxqueb
5. And, last, but certainly not least the ever popular Gothic Cathedral Play Set by Skimbal

I was reminded of these awesome sets when I saw the “Miniature Castle” by tc_fea and the “Mew Mew Modular Desk Tidy System” by brendandawes a week ago.  Each of these models is pretty awesome in its own right, but as soon as I saw these two models I started wishing for a mashup. ^2 3  Back in October I wondered at the lack of more modular playsets, specifically castle themed ones.

I think it would be pretty easy to chop up the various wall sections, towers, turrets, gate entrance, and living areas of this castle into separate sections.  Brendandawes’ connection system for his desk tidy system almost seem tailor made for connecting a modular building set such as tc_fea’s nifty design.  Add to this that both designs were uploaded to Thingiverse on the same weekend?

Can you imagine how cool it would be to set up a sprawling medieval city across your coffee table?!⁴

Mew Mew Modular Desk Tidy System by brendandawes

Mew Mew is a modular desk tidy system so you can keep you pencils, pens, paper-clips and other office supply goodies neat and tidy on your desk. The system allows you to combine the hexagon based Mew Mew in different ways; each Honey Pot slides together simply and easily.

2. In fact, this would be a pretty cool recurring challenge – to mashup any two models uploaded in a single day. [↩]
