Title: Card Buildings
Post by: joroas on July 27, 2008, 07:52:01 AM

Does anyone make card 25/8mm houses for France in WWII?  After ordering the new figures from Artizan I am looking to recreate a bit of 'Allo 'Allo.

These guys do several sets that would probably be useful.  They're not exactly cheap but they look excellent.  Check out the humungous church from Sainte-Mère-Église!

Brian Collins of 'Alternate Realms' has also been working on a set for quite a while but it's still ongoing.  Check out the 'Work in Progress' tab.

Some Normandy buildings are available on RPGnow, but they are basically for 15mm. I don't know how they would stand enlargement to 30mm.
But you can try the freebie to experiment:

If that works, there are also other 15mm WW2 buildings here:

Even better, I found 11 different buildings here for free:

Joroas - I salute your GoogleFu!  I was searching my records to see where I had downloaded those buildings from as I thought they fitted the bill but just couldn't remember (having too many senior moments!)

I was just looking at his site, on my favourites, I knew he had some piccies and tried to see where he got his from and I found them next to his scratchbuild ones.  They look okay for free and I have some Flags for the Lads shop signs and posters that I can use to personalise them.

Well, they hit most of the ones I'm familiar with, but if you've a mind, here's a stalag...

Look at the rest of the guy's site, too, he's got POW figures, guards, dogs, Komandants, etc!

Printing was a swine, they had to be printed landscape and blown up by 125%  10 different buildings are there.  His scratchbuilt ones are nice too, but you gotta have the time..........

Here are a few ruined buildings that should work well for the era:

(scroll down to the middle of the page)

They have a good "around WW2" appearance, with scraps of flooring and wallpaper still hanging in the inside part. They really have the appearance of heavy bombarded cities you see in old war pictures.
