Jeez... I'd forgotten those

Thanks!

Somewhen during this summer I hope to get some pirates painted, and to get a small harbour village together...

At the risk of sounding like a broken record... I recommend the (nominally) 1/72 Italeri range of buildings, in particular the Country House with Porch and and the massive Church. The Country house has nicely thick walls, a well sculpted pantiled roof and really looks the biz. It also works well with 28mm figures and conversion potential is great. I even bought up a couple of the plain Country House models (which are somewhat less useful for Spain or Latin America) just to use as a source of parts. Cheap as chips.

The church is a really impressive bit of kit. Mine's still in the box and it will get a roof swap and probably a little plastering at some point but by god it's big. No way I would afford something like this from one of the dedicated resin manufacturers.

Carlos,

do you happen to have photos with 28mm miniatures for reference? Maybe you can take one with just a wall section for reference?

I assume you mean this church:

Not off hand but this chap does: http://www.fusiliers.net/wargaming30.htm

And yes that's the church, I'm talking about. I'm going to re-roof mine with off the shelf sheet of plastic pantiles.

That's not so shabby. If you get that church erected I am rather keen to see a similar comparison shot.

Both the Berlin buildings and some aditional stuff is available from Hannants

Grand Manner is here... www.grandmanner.co.uk/shop/prodtype.asp?PT_ID=73&strPageHistory=cat
But you want to order soon, as they have a shipping deal going on right now, as well as a price increase next week....
Grand Manner is the Tiffany's of terrain.

IMO...

I dunno about those Italaeri ones... They look a touch small. So you may not want to mix and match with other companies...

Arnica Real Estate have some that will work.
