Your buildings are great.
In fact the best I have ever seen.
Well done.

PS, more photos please, if you have them.

Those Drift buildings are excellent. Are they scratch built?

Lovely work. I particularly like the detail of the  redcoat on the barrel and pith helmet on the crate.

Thanks to everyone for the great comments. The buildings are scratchbuilt. I used balsa wood and extruded foam. The brickwork and door detail is just etched in the foam with a pen, a nice simple method. The thatch is towelling cut in strips, dipped in PVA and laid on, then combed whilst still wet. I also made the cookhouse, ovens and latrine. I'll try and sort some more piccies  ;)
