Looking for Input on East African Buildings - Najewitz-Modellbau?

[Atheling]

I'm no expert, but at least from the photos I've seen common theme seems to be metal roofs with low slopes, covered verandas, and smooth white walls, with perhaps a bit of Arabian flourishes on some of the more impressive buildings near the coast. Of course, I'm sure there are plenty of exceptions to all of these.

Thanks Chris  .

Not doing a range but could be persuaded to do some commission work

From the comments here on LAF, I think you may do well out of a range!

I'm working on a colonial build for my Mars board but it's taken from real ones and seems like it would fit the bill?

That looks stunning! Sadly I don't think I could afford a custom building, but if you ever decide to start a range, I think you'd get plenty of customers!

I have the Najewitz-Modellbau buildings but I've not built them yet. I like them, they are very detailed. They will take some work to clean up. They also seem a little brittle, a few pieces arrived broken. The resin they're made of isn't a type I've seen used before. It also took quite a long while to get them to the USA, maybe three months? They are on my 'to do' list.

I think they look stately, but not European, so if you're after a colonial structure that is inspired by the local architecture, I'm not quite sure I'd go that route.

Did you buy the 28mm or the 20mm?

From the pics of both German East Africa buildings and the Najewitz-Modellbau's website, they look like they'd work well painted white and with corrugated metal roofs.

Hi joekano,

Sorry OT, since I don't know to look for PM's on LAF, I assume no one else does either.

Just sent you a PM.

Thanks,
