ID Question from me as well - buildings
« on: March 02, 2022, 10:46:34 PM »
Anyone know who made these? I bought them, ready painted, about 30 years ago but the name of the manufacturer is eluding me. There’s also a nice beehive gaol and a butter market.


Thanks,

Doug

Good point. Genuine 25mm I’d say. Here’s a shot of a 25/8mm figure next to be. I think the figure is a Woodbine.

There are certainly some Hovels in there. Front row from left, Hovels, possibly Hovels, ?, Hovels. Can't see the rest.

Sadly quite a few of the Hovels English range are OOP. Have a look at the 15mm English range for clues as there are quite a few same model different size buildings in the Hovels ranges
www.keepyourpowderdry.co.uk gaming the British Civil Wars in 15mm, and home of the ECW travelogue - dreadful painting, mediocre prose

It’s the front row I’m interested in. I think you and lowtardog are correct - certainly Hovels strikes a chord. I’ve just checked their website and these don’t seem to be listed but as you say, they’re probably OOP. Shame :-[

Thanks, chaps….
