I’ve just taken the plunge into the Three Musketeers Brigade Games stuff; I can make most buildings/terrain but am strapped for time.
Can anyone give me pointers to good (or convertable to good) buildings that would work? Solids or lift offs.
I was thinking of getting benches, tables, bottles to lob etc from Grendel?
-
Frontline also do a full range of interior stuff for Three Musketeers http://www.frontlinewargaming.co.uk/
All the props in my pic below is from this range.

Those look good. Thanks.
Who does the walling?
-
Psychic? I was thinking I need details for Zorro to use to defeat the Commandante's men like Guy Williams did in the TV show.
Great leads (no pun intended.)
Gracias,
Glenn

That's just a stamped styrene sheet from Antenociti :D

Cheers.
Found some rather nice 1/48th scale rickety wooden stairs at Grandt Line in the US, item number 3533:

For my musketeers games, I used Pardulon's buildings. They no longer exist.

I think that Total System Scenics are a good source for 17/18th century buildings
http://perrysheroes.free.fr/spip.php?article266
Conflix ones are also an option
http://perrysheroes.free.fr/spip.php?article161
Last option is to build them from scratch.

Thanks. Inspirational stuff!

Sgt Perry,
How did you do the cobblestones on the Musketeers bases please?
-
I bought a foam card with a cobblestone texture on it (Antenocity's workshop). And I glued some pieces on the base around the minis.
-
cheers
-
See? Where would our swashbuckling scenics be without Antenociti's wonderful embossed styrene cobbles and stones? ;)
-
Indeed!
I shall see if Jed has any at Colours tomorrow.
One the scrounge for more info....there is a 28mm Fishwife figure I saw a while back (probably a medieval range) but cannot remember the manufacturer, they may be German. Can the esteemed membership help once again?
-
Probably Alionas miniatures.
-
Thats them. Many thanks.

This is probably a better link for viewing the 28mm Conflix buildings:

That is a Chinese manufacturer making buildings out of a hard resin, with no playable interiors. These buildings look great, are reasonably priced, and can be used to make a nice little village of 7 buildings. If an interior fight is needed, one would need to use another building, or make a larger playable interior for the fight.
There is a guy named Steve Winter who made a magnificent tavern interior called the Inn of the Luminous Toad, complete with rugs to pull, tables covered with food to flip, chairs to throw or smash, great kegs of wine, etc. He used wallpaper from World Works to make the walls look like the inside of a tavern. He presented games using this the last few years at Enfilade in Olympia, Washington, the annual game conference of the Northwest Historical Miniatures Gaming Society. He used Savage Worlds as a combat system. Here's my old post about it, with a link to photos:

Thank you, again, inspirational stuff.
Picked up a Thomarillion 'Twilight Inn' at Colours this w/e to get me started; looks like it will easily take conversion:

also looked at the Redoubt figures as I was after a Planchet....they really are large figures and I doubt they will work with Brigade.

You may want to check out the new Medieval/ECW buildings from Grand Manner. I have included a link;

More are featured on my Blog.
I was responsible for many of the masters and believe they could easily be used with Musketeers, in addition most if not all of the range feature lift-off roofs. We were at Colours, maybe you saw them?
