Darkest Africa buildings

[Earther]

I suspected as much.

Very nice! Thanks.

Currently debating picking both buildings up for an embryonic 60s Congo smack down.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I'm going to go with the Ainsty and Frontline stuff, very nice buildings at a very good price. The Redoubt looks very nice, my girlfriend would skin me alive if I forked out that amount of money though (although she'll spend that and more on shoes and think nothing of it).

The scratch built buildings look really great by the way! 

Anyone know if Monolith still exist? The sites been down for a week that I know of. Be a shame if their not around anymore, they had some nice stuff.

I put in  quite a large order about a year ago. It took quite a long time to get the stuff and communication was erratic. Lovely stuff thou and the owner is quite nice.

Does anyone have a photo of the Frontline steamer? I quite fancy one and might put in an order for one +  the building in the photo above + other stuff.

cheers,

Excellent question, d(sqrt(-1))... I am also intrigued by the Frontline steamer. Other than that, very cool thread. Thanks for the links and inspiration.

Does anybody know if the Frontline African building has a lift off roof like their wild west buildings?

[Plynkes]

Yes, it does! (2 rooms, a big one and a little 'un)

[Colonel Tubby]

Thanks Plynkes - it's now gone from a 'like to have' to a 'must have'!

By the way... I was just looking for some farm buildings online and it seems not all Europeans took good care of their farm. Painting them too cleanly might be a historical mistake. 



 

It looks as if Plynkes' farm was drawn for this postcard:

Hope this doesn't sound too bad... but where can I get my hands on some nuns like those?!

I was just gonna ask the same thing...

I recognize the one from reaper, but where are the rest from?

Ok, I've put in an order for the building + steamer today, so I'll post a photo when they arrive, hopefully next week sometime.

A question for Plynkes - in your photo above you've got some "long grass"  - I found a mat of this, by Aqua One, in our local garden centre today. Looks like you've mounted the base spigot, textured over it and then put the plant back on. Any other recommendations? It's a bit luminous as it is, I was wondering about trying to tone down the greenness of it all...

cheers,

Mark

I'll look forward to seeing a pic of the steamer, feeling very tempted to order one myself.

For those of you interested in adobe buildings for North Africa, I found these recently, their very nice and come ready painted http://www.thewcp.co.uk/shop.php?pageNum_rs=0&totalRows_rs=15&CatID=112 not sure I'd want to pay the price myself though.

Ouch! They are a bit steep - what's with these really expensive buildings lately?
