Should be good for Mex as well. I have ordered a set. Not too shabby for £5.50

Good spot Derek

They would do well and at a good low price too

Nice looking building, bit more expensive than Martins card ones.


Looking forward to the new ones that Martin is making.

I will throw up some piccies once they arrive.

Just arrived, Have put together 1 of each. Don't look too shabby for £5.50 for 3. Will look even better once glued, based and decorated.

30mm base fits nicely on the roof as well without being snug

Nice - they look very robust too.

They look like they will do the job very well and at a good price . I like the separate door too.
Are you going to paint them or use them fresh?

I was thinking about doing a very light skim on the walls to make them a little rougher. I always find laser cut buildings are just too clean and square. I may even implant some stonework to not skim over for variety then painting.

Bear in mind I am doing them as Arab not Mexican but both would be adobe. May even make little shutters for the windows but don't want to spend too much time on them as have loads of figs to paint.

My fictional small 'Puerto de San Miguel' on the Pacific coast of Mexico is coming along nicely. There is still a ways to go but apart from the more elaborate colonnaded custom house the other buildings are now made up and getting their first tentative paint jobs... I have to figure out how to do a balcony railings and handrails etc. but it is down to adding personal touches in the form of some variant wall, window and shutter colours to suggest multiple occupancy... I've tried to suggest a change in level by adding steps to the first floor at the rear... The roof tiling is getting any dabs of groundwork paint etc. added randomly to add colour and texture and blend in the Milliput ridge tiles.

This is a wonderful project. It all seems to be coming together very nicely. As for balconies etc, there may be options in the model railway market, or else through a 3D printing service?

[Colonel Kilgore]

Fantastic stuff, Neil!

I hadn't considered buying in extra bits. Part of the challenge for me is finding homemade solutions and using up the 'shedload' (quite literally) of modelling bits and bobs I have squirreled away. I will have a rummage among my Dad's old model railway supplies for anything useful but I tend to shy away from actively investing commercial solutions. My builds are wargaming versions and while they could benefit from etched brass railing detailing etc... it is beyond my skillset.

Neil,

A man after my own heart!

That's looking really good so far Neil.

Almost there with those buildings (see my post from 25 june). Just some ground cover at the edges left but not going to have time before off to Yorkshire to see the grandkids for first time in 18 months so thought I would post anyway.
