Ok its not perfect and will double the polycount for the shadow casting model but i see no reason why it wont work.
Having done a couple of models for sh3 in the past i found this was the easiest way to get a "double sided" surface. + i really wish id known about s3d back then!

I will try that and let you know how it works. Thanks
EDIT: beautiful idea FlakMonkey. These Turm shadows are believable and looking good. I'll need to add the interior Turm to it tomorrow to get the correct shadow but we have a solution!
in this one the shadow has a nice straight solid edge on the back of the Turm just like it should be considering the sun is shining from the upper left corner of the screenie:
and here the sun is aft and just to the left of the Turm. Note the solid shadow:
