A lovely village, I think this is one of the most versatile set of buildings around everyone should have a collection form ancients, Wild west, colonial to moderns superb

Great, the hovels ones fit in very well as it seems from the picture?

I still remember selling you yours Karl! I think you were using it at the time with Mongrel figures? Afghanistan?
Alex has Monolith buildings from 3 different ranges there - Adobe, Holy Land and Egyptian - and because they were all designed by me, they all fit seamlessly together.....
And I think we can all agree he's done a fantastic job!

Thats right Steve :0) a great set of buildings. They certianly are my Afghan village for the Soviets to fight over. Nicley cast and nice to paint too

[Captain Blood]

I have several of these too... My personal favourites are the Hovels tomb and the Monolith square blockhouse with tower. Excellent and evocative models both.

I keep looking at the never-ending supply of plywood / MDF hand-made jobs on eBay - there now seem to be two or three people making them, and I must admit they look quite superbly complicated - and large! I was sorely tempted by the entire Afghan hillfort complex. But... I do just worry that they still look a little like plywood covered in Tetrion... Does anyone have any of these in the flesh? Are they as good as they look in a thumbnail?

Someone must have a huge collection, because they keep on churning them out!

This is the guy that started making these a year or so ago - he now has a couple of imitators. From the pictures, the standard seems about the same from the different makers / vendors...

[Lowtardog]

I have seen these, they command quite a price. That one isnt particulalry special but there are some which are real beauties/ Those butresses make me think they have been scratch built and then cast up. The brickwork is a bit fuzzy which also points to that.

5 days on that auction and already £25 plus £4 postage. seems a bit steep

[drferling]

Thanks for the link!

oops  :oops: did find another one Monolith here

[drferling]

Does anyone know if these terrific Monolith adobe buildings are available in the US or if their is a manufacturer that has such terrific looking buildings?

Thanks!

PM me or email me through the Monolith website - I'm in the US next month, and will bring whatever you fancy - and will post it without a shipping charge while I'm there

WOW! What a fantastic advert for our Aztec range - I hadn't seen those pics before - though I did see the game at Salute earlier on in the year
