That is a cracking set up, beautifully rendered.
 :-* :-*

I'm going to guess from the posts that the buildings are scratch built?
Please tell me they aren't and that I can get some just like that...  I keep seeing great buildings for Mexico and they're always scratch built (which is a problem, as my abilities do not reach to that!)

I believe those buildings are Snapdragon, which are OOP as far as I know.
A real shame as they are very nice indeed.

Yes Snapdrgon, some  I converted before passing then onto Majorsmith to enhance and improve.

Well the whole table looks terrific, just a shame I can't find buildings like those myself.

Town-style buildings fine - Charlie Foxtrot or Games of War 'Pirate' buildings look very nice, but decent-looking adobe just don't seem to be out there. I know there are MDF types, but not a patch on those in your setup.

Scratchbuild is the way to go. They are not difficult to make, there are plenty of examples and tutorials on this board. Get yourself some foam board, balsa and Polyfilla and give it a go. ;) :)

Good man, do it, you will be fine. If you want some step by step instructions, pm me your email address and I will send you the Gary Chalk WI article within which he details how to make adobe buildings.
It is what I based all my buildings upon.
