Spanish War of Succession, using the papers I have assembled since the beginning of May.  Steve has a wargames shed - so will be set up in that. Talking of ACW I have sent away for those Wofun 18mm 2d printed plexiglass figures. I have Peter Pig's ACW rules, they would fit in with those.

My wife made me a bandanna tonight for all this "thou must wear a mask in shops" type stuff. Just need some spurs, boots, Stetson / sombrero, six shooter to go with it.

Just a random 'Mystic Meg' question, but on the underside of the farmhouse are there the letters 'PKS' in black in one corner?


I have just dashed off & had a look, unfortunately I have painted the base black.
I can say though, I am not the maker of the building. Please tell me if it was you,
& if it was... Much MUCH admiration. Well done & have you got any more stuff
to sell?

@has.been

Unless someone made a close copy of it, I did indeed build it.


My pic is of an old 'proper' photograph, as I believe I built/sold it around 1993/4, before digital photography!  :o

It looks to have survived incredibly well for a one-off, free-standing scratchbuild.  You (and any previous owners) have obviously looked after it.  I assume the door (originally white) has been repainted at some time to match the shutters.

Well done & have you got any more stuff to sell?
It depends what you are after.  I have some buildings that don't get much use, but just odds'n'ends.  If you were after something specific I might be able to build it for you, as I currently have plenty of spare time  ::) 

Might be best to PM me as I don't want to derail your thread any further.  Cheers, Paul.

Carpet tile were from Woolworths over 30 years ago.
As they were discontinued they only cost 50p each.
B&Q do carpet tiles, but theirs are bigger. I have donated my B&Q ones
to the school club as they are harder to store.
