Looking for... Market wares

[jscottbowman]

Guys, just wondering if you can help suggest a suitably product and supplier...

I am wanting to do a Market stall type area for 28mm skirmish gaming like EotD (thinking opening scenes of Sherlock Holmes movie 2...), but that would also presumably work for other settings like Caribbean pirates etc...

I can probably make the stalls myself out of balsa and matchsticks, but its the wares themselves I am mostly looking for...

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks in advance...

Scott

I'm sure Ainsty Castings has various bits that could be used for a market.

You could make boxes out of stirrers and then make wares out of putty. Balls for apples etc

Scroll down to Mex28, assorted barrels, sacks and foodstuffs:

Also Black Hat Miniatures have market good, baskets of trade good etc

Mirliton makes heaps of coneys, pheasants, cabbage, leaves of bread, geese.

For the more tropical wares I would go to Brigade games who makes baskets of cocoanut, mangoes, pineapples, [collective noun] of bananananas.

Neat. I was not aware you make those. Still no civilians? I could use them as Paquadorians.

Civies at some point, they are on the list to be done, just not got that far down the list yet

Mirliton makes 3 different butcher stalls for as part of their medieval diorama kits, and Miniature Building Authority makes a set of 3 stalls.  You can get a look at the Miniature Building Authority stalls in pic 44 of my Pirate Gallery at www.warin15mm.com/Pirates.html

Eureka miniatures do market stalls in their 28mm civilian range but they are mainly for North Africa or Indian subcontinent. However the stalls themselves with a little conversion could be used for a London market stall.

O scale is what you would be looking for.

In O scale Plasticville has a Roadside Stand (45621) that has lots of fruit and vegetable baskets.

I faintly remember Stan Johansen doing some, or maybe those were just Bazaar dwellers with some dishes.

Foundry do a couple of things in their Victorian range-
