In doing  so, I noticed I forgot to paint window frames! Lol. I will get round to them one day!

Nice, are you going to pick up more from that line of terrain?

Yup, I like the chateau and I need a church I think.   I have some roads on order from them too.  Nice models, great company.  Just wish they would expand the range a bit...

I love their models, but looking at how many I would need/want...  the pricing is a bit rich for me.

They are very nice models....but unfortunately yes you pay for that.  They are not as pricey however as some I’ve seen and at least you can buy them unpainted, unlike Grand Manner who have restricted a collectors choice somewhat.  Tbh...these are better in my opinion anyway.

Cheers for the comments.

Added flavour...had this tractor for years.  Not the most convincing paint job, but I think it adds character to the farm.   I have some barrels and junk somewhere to add and I notice warlord do a set of 1:56 farm animals.  I will get a few next month perhaps.



And because I forgot the windows!

Are the houses attached to the base?
Tractor fits the bill

Cheers guys.

No, the base is a good solid rubber mat.  Made from the same material they use for the roads I think.  Slightly stretched, possibly Ofer time, the mould maybe.  There are gaps at the base of the houses....but in play, I may just fill with a little dark sand or ballast to represent a stoned bed.

I have tracks coming soon hopefully.

We have a game coming up this weekend too, so pics next week of the houses being used in anger.

I’ve ordered a couple of their timber framed buildings on the strength of your handiwork  :)
Never really noticed this company before, so thanks for the lead. I’m interested to see what they’re like in the flesh. As you say, certainly a lot cheaper than Grand Manner, and being able to buy them unpainted is a major bonus.

Now I understand the need/want for 'Black sand'
 I will see what I have got.
