Title: ECW stables/barn...
Post by: anevilgiraffe on 22 October 2012, 04:41:52 PM
obviously, being ECW, it could be earlier and old, looking for some suggestions for barns/stables? any thoughts on style? pics always welcome...

at the moment quite like the aisled barn from Grand manner, anyone got some pics of the interior?

looking at what pics enlarge on the site, the doors look kind of plonked on rather than in a cut doorway...

yeah, been looking at pics and stuff online... some of the commerically available barns are massive, but then so are the real ones... I may stick with stables for now  lol

something akin to the grand manner norman stable should do the job

Armourcast has a stable too I seem to recall.

And I quite like the Ziterdes hardfoam barn.

really silly question... I don't have any cavalry models, so have no idea how much clearance a horse would need...  ;D

I figure about as high as a 28mm figure should be enough? to lead a horse through...

My 28mm Warlord pike & shotte horse are 30ish mm to the ears, so yeah, if it'll let a figure in a hat and typical wargames base through, your doors should fit a horse.

I did an ECWish half timber & thatch barn just over a year ago, and the door is 35mm or so high, so it'll fit a led horse but not a mounted man. LAF thread on that one here (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=30339.0).
