Not been funny bud, the Rubicon heads are easily 20mm! If you have Brit bodies, I can let you have heads.

Hopefully I can keep it interesting then mate, cheers.

So, having gotten our first game in, we will be starting the Bloody Bucket campaign in earnest in a week or so’s time. I realise that I still have a few things to get done.

We pretty much have the forces side tied down now and lots of clutter and obstacles, but I am sitting on a number of unpainted resin buildings. My least favourite thing to paint, but needs must or every game will start to look the same!

You may recall when I painted the farm, that I had accidentally bought two of the “lean to” covered pens. Well I am mid way through converting one (not hugely, but adding more detailing) to create a pigsty....hopefully pics soon.

I will also have a go at these three buildings, so at the very least, I can make a second farmstead. I have been looking at the Hornby 1/72 Corrugated iron Dutch Barn trying to determine whether it may still scale for this......if anyone has one, I’d be interested to know? Cheers

It's more a question of what you used for corrigated Iron on your other builds. If you used HO stuff then it's not an issue.
As it'll just look like a single story barn than the near two stories in HO.
That type of openside barn is about an hour scratch build and less than a third of the price.( plus you'll be able to hide armour in it.)

Yup...I had considered scratching it......but last time I did with corrugated ABS.....a year later it fell apart! Probably me using wrong glue but hey ho.

Ok, one painted and slightly modified pigsty. I replaced the small wooden “walls” with all round fencing, and added a corrugated “gate”. Thanks to Vodkafan, I had wheels to throw on the roof to keep the tin down. We used to use tyres to keep tarps down like this on the farm when I was a kid.

Piggy wig straw is simply an old paint brush cut up and glued.
