I know
but who else does 25-28 mm spanish style buildings suited for pirate games set in the Spanish Main, please?
-
Brigade Games

Brigade Games
Lovely, those...
-
Jeez... I'd forgotten those :o
Thanks!
Somewhen during this summer I hope to get some pirates painted, and to get a small harbour village together...
-
I'm pretty sure Grand Manner do them aswell.
cheers

Yes, Grand Manner, and Empress have a very nice ones.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record... I recommend the (nominally) 1/72 Italeri range of buildings, in particular the Country House with Porch and and the massive Church. The Country house has nicely thick walls, a well sculpted pantiled roof and really looks the biz. It also works well with 28mm figures and conversion potential is great. I even bought up a couple of the plain Country House models (which are somewhat less useful for Spain or Latin America) just to use as a source of parts. Cheap as chips.
The church is a really impressive bit of kit. Mine's still in the box and it will get a roof swap and probably a little plastering at some point but by god it's big. No way I would afford something like this from one of the dedicated resin manufacturers.

Carlos,
do you happen to have photos with 28mm miniatures for reference? Maybe you can take one with just a wall section for reference?
I assume you mean this church:

Not off hand but this chap does: http://www.fusiliers.net/wargaming30.htm
And yes that's the church, I'm talking about. I'm going to re-roof mine with off the shelf sheet of plastic pantiles.

That's not so shabby. If you get that church erected I am rather keen to see a similar comparison shot.

Both the Berlin buildings and some aditional stuff is available from Hannants 8)

Hmmm... nice stuff...
-
Grand Manner is here... www.grandmanner.co.uk/shop/prodtype.asp?PT_ID=73&strPageHistory=cat
But you want to order soon, as they have a shipping deal going on right now, as well as a price increase next week....
Grand Manner is the Tiffany's of terrain. :o :-* :o
IMO...
I dunno about those Italaeri ones... They look a touch small. So you may not want to mix and match with other companies...
Arnica Real Estate have some that will work.

Yes, sparkly and f#*ing expensive. Sadly it doesn't come with breakfast or Audrey Hepburn.

You can't have her though, that's my daughter when she went as Audrey Hepburn for Halloween when she was 11.

Check out Fat Spider´s new Spanish Tavern
-
Old Glory and Arcana Montana have nice adobe buildings in 28mm. And Front Rank do a few too I believe.

Empress also have some very nice Spanish Style buildings. The new church they do is fantastic! :-*

I cannot find any on the Front Rank site... Gotta link?
-
http://www.frontrank.com/
-
Can't find their buildings, either....
While the adobe buildings are great for outback Mexico/Texas/Arizona, small fishing communities, and that kind of stuff, what I'm after is the 'mainland Spain' type of buildings that marks the early colonization of islands and main ports on the Latin American mainland.
Some nice possibilities already.
-
Is the Grand Manner expensive? Kinda high.
But you pay for what you get. It really is the nicest terrain out there. :)
-
Well safe to say I can build a small village for the price of of their middling to larger buildings and that's not including postage. Nice but a little rich for my blood, I have children to feed.
-
I think Richar is due for an IRS audit. Check the Caymans, 'cause he has someow manged to acquire like a million Grand Manner buildings as of late!
How is Mrs. Richar doing? I hsave some information she might be interested in.
:D

Miniature Building Authority has Spanish buildings being released this year. If you go to their website and click on the text for the catalog PDF, you'll see them. About 4 pages in, I think. They aren't on the website proper just yet.

The new MBA ones do look quite nice. I also like the Empress and Brigade Games buildings - but in practice I find I am slow about assembling and painting resin buildings, which makes the nice pre-painted ones more tempting.

Spanish main series ;D
I'd just wish they were available unpainted - I'd rather pay a bit less and paint them myself than pay them to paint them... :?
-
Tablescape is another great option

Cool terrain that I never saw before :o

Miniature Building Authority recently came out with some Spanish Building for Pirate games. There is a Governor's Mansion, A Custom House and two others that might be storage sheds, that I have seen so far. They are quite nice.

You have to click on the PDF catalog. Then it's in there under Spanish Main, page 9. http://miniaturebuildingauthority.com/MBA_Catalog2010.pdf

And you get a 20% off sale going on right now, too...

Cheers!
That Palazzo is nice, I could find a use for that. Of course if I bought one I'd have to call it Enrico.

Have anyone seen "The Little Green Man" range in the flesh?
-
Have anyone seen "The Little Green Man" range in the flesh?
Good Question.
I have not but it seems from the pictures that the range is highly oriented towards the upper class/high end/larger buildings. I really need (right now) more peon oriented buildings other wise I'd be tempted to buy one to see. My needs right now are more Northern Mexico Town then Spainish city. I may be wrong but what's what struck me when I visited the site. Anywhere the dimensions are listed?
Gracias,
Glenn

Just bought a resin building from Games of War's new Pirate range.I bought the basic one this week and will be getting one of the others next week.
Very nice and clean casting.It has seperate window's and a door.This makes painting it much easier as you can paint them up then pop them in.Saves on touching up the rest of the building.
They dont have them up on the web site just yet.Will try to pester alan next week to get pictures posted.

Here is a link to there site.They dont have the buildings up yet But I hope to prompt Alan next week.
http://www.gamesofwar.co.uk/
They do have the pirate ships for sale.
-
Could you please post a pic quickly? I've been waiting so long to see what they come up with.
-
Are the new games of war buildings for their pirate line 28mm or 15mm?
-
The games of war buildings are for 28mm miniatures.
I will try to get some pictures sorted.
The buildings are modular and can be used in a variety of ways.Alan is working on more pieces to expand the line and give different configurations.
-
i.want.photos.
miner!
::)
-
Right Alan has sent over loads of pictures of the buildings.Here are a few.If you would like me to post more just ask.

Now those are really nice. Cost?
-
What...pictures not enough :D.
Will try and find out.
They are great buildings and I hope to get some more.
-
Very nice!
I like how they can be set up in different ways. Great ways of using the same buildings. Still, are there any other houses as well? Some big haciendas or the mandatory church?
Thanks for the photos!
-
These are just the first offerings.It would be nice to see bigger houses.I know alan mentioned doing gubbinz to place around the town.
-
Those look really good 8)

They look great! Thanks for the pictures.
-
Great stuff! Where can we order them?
-
Just thought you might be interested in the dimensions of the buildings.External dimensions measure 120x80x70mm.
Bought another one today.The one in the third picture.The one in the first picture I got last week(still not painted :o).
Alan hopes to have them in the web shop this weekend.
He has also mentioned doing some larger buildings.
-
These are nice. And with free postage, not too expensive. Ships not too shabby, at all, either....
I am, of course, WAY behind scedule, so pirates will have to wait 'til after moving to our new home (we get the keys tomorrow!! ;D ), along with some other postponed projects...
-
They are great buildings and Alan is working on more to go with the range.
Good luck with the house move too.
