Title: WANTED: Stone building with thatched/dirt roof.
Post by: Mr. White on August 10, 2025, 03:27:02 AM: The family took a trip to Scotland this summer and while out in Glencoe we visited this neat Turf and Creel house out in the highlands. I’d like to get something similar for my table. The closest one I see might be these fantastic Fogou (RIP) buildings that were part of the ring fort (Dun!Dun!Dun!) Kickstarter a few years back.

Does anyone have any spare(s) they’d be willing to part with? Thanks!

I have a resin one from the 80s, but no recollection at all of who made it...

Looks like all the resin ones could benefit from cutting a small smoke hole in the roof before the resident minis asphyxiate from burning peat fumes.
