Hi DR Vesuvius

I think you might have been missing something in your kit

Just bought three more buildings includes all the doors, windows, acetates for glass etc

Personally I think the kits are great and once built will add that little bit of England I am looking for

No bad comments from me

I should have added that mine have tabs and are very easy to build

I think they offer a choice of basic and more detailed kits don't they?

JP - wasn't aware of that - just ordered the basic stuff which comes complete with all doors, windows etc.

The first is almost complete - pictures very soon

The kit I got was called Mulberry House and contained none of that stuff, but the booklet did have instructions for scratch building doors, window frames, moulding and stairs. It's not labelled as a basic kit, and at £25 for something fairly modest, it's not what I'd call a 'barebones' price, when I could get a similar sized townhouse from Sarissa's Gaslamp Alley range with lots of etched detail for £5 less.

I'm glad to hear you're happier with your purchases. Maybe Mulberry is just an older kit and the newer ones have more detail.

Ok, here are some improvised barricades I made with the 1:48 stuff from 'A Trifle Small'. Actually they're not as small as I originally thought and scale up quite nicely with 28mm figures.

(Note that the upturned tables were not part of the order)

Those scale perfectly!  Great barricades!

Nice to see others traveling the Doll House road.  Alas, being in 15 mm its harder to find useful stuff for me.  1/144 sort of works, sometimes.  Pretty hard hear in the states to find anything in the 1:96 scale that would work so much better.

Love those barricades and very nice painting on them.
