Just stunning. The burial is a terrific touch.

Many thanks for the comments!
To answer some of the questions:
Buildings - are all Hudson and Allen. Lots of detail and a joy to paint and available from Ben at Vatican Enterprises. http://www.wargamescenics.com/
Backdrop - is a model railway background. Cannot recall from where, but its made in Germany and is a long photographic one, chosen for lack of modern buildings on it (the join is actually the hardboard behind, not the picture itself), I think you attach with wallpaper paste.

Beautiful work, I especially like the burial scene - unusual idea and very well composed.

How exactly did I manage to miss these ?

I could wax lyrical on the pics for paragraphs at a stretch so I'll keep it short and pithy :

MORE ! MORE, PLEASE !  ;D

Ok you'll have to help me out here.
Did your order these from the Vatican Enterprises site you just linked? They are all in dollars, and to be honest it's not the most awe-inspiring web layout... Did you have them shipped form the US?
He links to E-Bob Miniatures as a UK supplier, but frustratingly it seems all links to the buildings on the E-Bob website lead to the same dead end.

Though looking through that catalogue, they look absolutely fantastic.... and those prices look ridiculously good! Almost too good to be true....

Any tips on getting hold of them? I want!!!!

I've sent you a PM - you need to build in costs of importing items from USA into EU, as HM Customs will slap a charge on. My last order this was approx 24% of the value of the order.
Shame no one stocks them in UK/EU.

I've been a follower of your blog for quite some time now and I always keep wondering what your fully dressed up battlefield looks like. This army is amazing and I like the set ups. I also do hope you get around to doing that swiss army you have been hoping to do.

As it happens, I bought a few of these Hudson and Allen buildings when they were last available in the U.K. and I'm sure I've got a couple of the smaller ones still left.

Drop me a PM if you're interested and I'll see if I can look them out this weekend.
