Ta, shows as West Wilts Designs, bookmarked now.

Hey Poiter50, open eBay UK search there for them, shipping to Oz is listed and reasonable (flat pack) I contacted him thinking of getting the Dads Army street set to see if it was compatible with my existing buildings, his reply including the building dimensions is below...
"Good Morning,
Thank you for your message.
These kits do not have interior floors, however the dimensions for them are -
Height to the roof - 10cm
Height including the roof - 16cm
width - 14cm
Depth of the house - 10cm
We hope this helps.
Kind Regards
Kristoff Designs"
Cheers
Cheers,
Poiter50

Be careful with the Kristoff Designs stuff as his doors are an odd size.
They are nice buildings for the price, his doors just need tweaking


Rear of building with original door

Front with heightened door

Nice work on the door job.  But then again, many of these buildings were built when the average height of a man was a bit less than now... ;)

A good call on the doors.
My cunning plan didn't really involved the rear doors on the buildings .As I was simply going to remove the rear windows cover the sides a rear of the building in once continuous piece of pre painted paper add a single storey extension, chuck a cereal packet roof tile set on and weather it to match the rest of my buildings.
Something that could be done in an evening. Just to speed up my process as I'm seriously short of spare time at the moment.

Ah I see, I just quickly painted this up for a game, but couldn’t get over the front door being so odd,
the rear one still bugs me though  ::)

I have/had every intention to tile the roof, but it hasn’t happened yet, so seems unlikely in the near future  lol

Got both the Liedo and Corgi Dad's Army trucks. Contrary to, much appreciated information, I've plumped for the Corgi models. Too big, yes, but the Lledo's look a tad too small, in my 'umble opinion. Jonesy's battlewagon could carry the entire Platoon, that's wot swung it. That, and the fact some of 1st Corps cartoony looking figures will be finding their way into Walmington-on-Sea!

Foundry have a Suspicious Nun (Might have a spare one of these) & Warlord do a couple, one running (you spot his boots) with a pistol & one with a monocle & Potato Masher Grenade

I did some fifth column types in the Follies range  ( the home guard figures are getting pulled soon as I've re-sculpted them and more Home Guard. As the first ones are all of Laffers they sold insanely well. But they just don't fit the range as a hole and will be pulled by the end of the year.Plus every one who's in it has them so they've job is done.)

What's that type of thin wire stuff, you can twizzle around a bit of dowling, to make concertina barbed wire?

Oddly enough its sold as Barbed wire. If your on the bay of fleas. Then just search for 28mm barbed wire. Or a little more old school with a sheet of aluminium mesh for car body repairs.

Those "fifth column" types look good, 'arry.  So do the trucks.  But a family butcher?  What, does he only butcher families?  Seems kind of a niche hustle to me.... :o
