Before anyone asks, we wrote to Timecast about 18 months ago with pictures of Problus and Chlum churches. It may be on their list but their list is about as big as the Pendraken list. We live in hope that we will be able to produce of a photo of a Prussian band playing Heil an der Siegerkranz outside Chlum Church at the end of the battle. But at the moment the only ingredient for the photo is the scenic flock. (Not even any scenic angels).
Our other difficulty is brickworks. There were several of them, eg at Jicin and Rosberitz, and they offered good cover. But we have been unable to unearth any pictures of them anywhere.

If they are full process, a large hole, a smallish building with an oven, and stacks of the finished product.

I have Timecast 10mm for the italian front. They are lovely buildings. I also have some of their Leipzig ones for WSS. Anyone have any of their FPW ones either 6mm or 10mm?

Duke Speedy of Leighton

Yes (I have their production prototypes).
They are based on Alsace buildings that were standing during 1870.

These buildings are fairly typical of those at the centre of a substantial Bohemian town or fortress; these are just off the main square in Koniggratz. There was an apartment available in the salmon pink one but it had only one bedroom, sooooooo tempted.

I am indebted to IanS for explaining that a brickworks contains piles of bricks. I was sort of moving towards that realisation under my own steam.
What we need though is a picture or pictures and they are elusive.

Er no, it will be a photo of an Austrian band on Dub hill playing 'Gott erhalte franz den kaiser'
Thank you.

Cam, I have cautioned you on eating cheese late at night but you keep doing it and it gives you these very vivid dreams.

I have the full FPW range in 6mm and they bare spot on.

Hello All

If you are looking for Czech churches and can work with card models have a look here:-

They are in various scales, some in 1/150, but it isn't too difficult to rescale the others to 1/150.

Here's one in 1/150 already:-



Cheers

I seem to remember there was a pile of brocks (eh?) bricks in the Tate Modern a few years back. Is that what you were looking for?  :-/

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
