Darkest Africa buildings
« on: April 28, 2011, 10:35:48 AM »
Been looking for resin buildings for Darkest Africa. I've found some nice looking natives huts sold by Grand Manner, but what I'm after are the buildings used by Europeans in South/East and Central Africa. I've had no luck at all so far in finding any! Searches on the internet have so far only brought up adobe building for North Africa, which although very nice, they are'nt what I'm looking for right now! If anyone can direct me to some sites I'd be very grateful.

Ones last thing, does anyone know if Monolith Design have gone out of business? Their site has been down for the past week.

That Frontline building is very, very nice by the way. :-*

80 pounds?! Fuck me... I think I did the Sisters of Little Mercy mission house in less than 10 hrs for less than 10 quid's worth of corkboard, coffee stirrers and terry cloth. I know, I know... I already hear the old argument about having a two left thumbs but at those prices, surely it is worth considering?

Alternatively, buy the Frontline one, which costs about £20.

Sorry about that, Bravo Six.  lol

Are you in the US?

To save you a bit on postage and that, I'm sure somebody over there carries the Frontline range. Now it's just a matter of remembering who it is.  ???

It's the very same Ainsty district hut that Joroas linked to in the post above my first one.

Slightly better view of it in this pic taken from the opposite direction:
