I've heard these figures are a little on the small side. I love how they look, however!

That blockhouse is absolutely stunning.

I love the blockhouse. Is it a resin?

I tried looking for it at Stand To last weekend but couldn't find it on Colonel Bill's stand (I believe he's the distributor?)

The BlockHaus is cast in resin, the main building is a cast as one piece, with the doors as separate pieces, the walls come in 5 pieces.

The main building is 23 x 8.5 cm, whilst the whole compound is 28 x 29cm (widest points). The main building is 10 cm heigh (11.5cm at the highest point)

There is also a flagpole, cast in white metal.

Darrell.

Colonel Bill does indeed stock it at shows, he originally had four and and just ordered another 3...

He'll be at Battlefield, Stockton on Tees show, 28th Nov, if you reserve one you'll get 10%....

Mike also sells it via the BlackHat website

Does that mean the main building is not accessible for figures, aside from the roof?

Hi Rob
The  main building is one piece, so the roof and both lookout turrets are accessible for figures, I did think about making the roof lift off, however the inside space would be tight, as indeed the actual blockhaus was that this model is based upon. 

I do plan to draw up some floor plans so that should you want to  accurately show where figures are within the blockhaus, I'll add them to the website as a free download.

The trap door to the roof can easily be converted to a open position, there is only a very thin piece of resin sealing the model.

Thank you
Mark @ unfeasibly.co.uk

So, is the blockhouse hollow? If so, the first floor is useable, just not the loopholes on what appears to be a second floor?

The floorplan would be a nice idea.

still waiting for more meharists ...  ;)
Dans les situations critiques, quand on parle avec un calibre bien en pogne, personne ne conteste plus. Y'a des statistiques là-dessus.

Hello
i was just waiting to see how the second pack developped to place an order...just a thought but i think it was quite rare if not impossible that méhariste sported a turban without veil..over the face or around the neck..what it looks like a small turban that cover just the head was peculiar to Moroccans ecc..not really to the Mèharistes of Chamba and Tuareg origins..myabe is just my impression from the FB picts...and, in any case..a small ammount of putty can solve any doubt
