Ideas for 28mm Falklands war buildings
« on: March 08, 2020, 04:51:37 PM »
Hi all
        We are planning a few skirmish Falklands war games and was wondering if anyone could suggest some suitable 28mm mdf buildings
I have had a quick look and can't see anything suitable

Thanks
Steve

With a little bit of modification, removing the verandah and swapping the roof for a corrugated iron version, the Perry ACW house is good for the job.

Quite a lot of buildings were made from corrugated iron kits for which MDF is a less than ideal medium. Buy some corrugated plastic card or just corrugated cardboard and knock yourself out. Simple to build.

The photographs I have from West Falkland are of shiplap walls with a steep corrugated iron roof. There were corrugated sheds (shallower roof).

Not MDF, but card. I've had some decent results with 'em in the past though...

Tony's buildings are excellent, but 20mm scaled if I am not mistaken. But enlarge them on a good printer and Bob's your uncle.

Thanks all
I think I will have a go at building a couple from foam card and use Perry building for a couple as well
Thanks all for the replies
