I've been thinking I needed some more buildings for my 54mm games and bought these two from 'Warbases' they are for 28mm figures but I'm not to bothered about the size difference . I've just built them and given each a coat of gloss varnish . Think this is called a shed but I've added a chimney to make it a suitable dwelling for the shepherd Gabriel Oak , a hollow cast figure from my childhood who has been given a fresh coat of paint , the sheep are again from my old farm collection.
Slightly more ambitious is this - which is suitable for Firely church , I have resisted painting it to maintain the 'toy soldier' look . Mr and Mrs Pendergast are just leaving after viewing the fine Memorial Brasses and give a feel to the size . I need a suitable clerical figure to go with it , so will have to keep my eyes open on Ebay .
Smaller-scale buildings usually work better due to our mixed-up vertical and horizontal scales on a wargaming table. These seem no exception to me and look just perfect.

Yes I once hade a go making a card building to 54mm/1:32nd scale and it was huge !
DeleteThey look great Tony. Your old figures are lovely.
ReplyDeleteTrying to keep the Toy Soldier look .
DeleteAll creatures great and small not to mention buildings. These look terrific. My 54mm scale homemade card houses are huge, not to mention the church. These are a far more practical option.
ReplyDeletei will be able to use them with my 40mm ones as well .
DeleteHi Tony- Good to see your childhood 54s and the new buildings- Are your Farm Figures 'Hollow Cast'? Good work there for sure. Regards. KEV.
ReplyDeleteMost of them are , from the 1950's (?) they belonged to an older cousin and they got passed down to me as a child .
DeleteFinally! I have searched high and low for someone posting commercial 28mm buildings with 54s, so I can get a sense of how it would look before I place an order. Thank you! They look great, as does your entire setup.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words , the Warbase ones are a lot simpler to put together than many other manufacturers .
