Title: Italeri North African House
Post by: carlos marighela on July 19, 2010, 01:51:33 AM: Just came across this in my wanderings. If it's anything like their other terrain offerings I suspect it's going to be very popular. Can't wait to get one of these.

Post by: carlos marighela on July 19, 2010, 03:11:18 AM: Well their other buildings all work with 28mm and the doors/ gates look largeish so I don'tsee why this wouldn't work.

Hi,
I'd like to see some pic of those houses with 28mm minis, do you have any?

hope it helps.

Post by: Captain Blood on July 19, 2010, 10:42:44 PM: Thanks Fantail. Those are very interesting reviews. These buildings appear to scale in pretty well with 28mm figures. Which is good, because they're nice looking buildings and a heck of a lot cheaper than resin!

They look rather more in scale, I have to say, than the Perrys' allegedly 28mm clapboard ACW farmhouse - which looks miniscule with anything bigger than 20mm figures ::)

Thanks for the info, will have to invest in a set now.

Post by: Gluteus Maximus on July 20, 2010, 04:06:53 PM: This could be just what I'm looking for as a trading post/fort for my Darkest Africa Arabs :D

The "Berlin House" in the link Fantail gave seems to be within acceptable limits for 28mm, so hopefully this wiil be too.

42.00 Euros is not exactly cheap, but certainly far better than resin and storage/transport would be much easier too.

Worth getting!
