Have just bought some of the WW2 Eastern European buildings and can testify to their outstanding quality, was wondering if there was any chance of something to expand the line slightly taking into account the various farm animals you have available. Was thinking of something along these lines:

Chicken Coops and outbuildings/ pigstys?

And something for the aspiring farmer, their very own Dacha

Are you sure these are actually used outside the UK?

Because of the very different climates I found European farming very different to UK farming. I guess it will vary but I found rural central/eastern europe very different to here.

How about a Baba Yaga themed coop for my WW2 Russians? :)

Good point.  I remember staying with a family in the Tyrol and the cattle/hens etc were wintered in the basement .  Their body heat - and odours - steamed up through the floor.

Bit late in the war for my forces ... besides, how many chickens could you practically fit in the 100mm barrel. Surely a 203mm tracked howitzer would be more humane :)

That's n gauge?  :o

From the website

"NEW to the UK and something different from the standard sheds and wooden buildings.

A very fine laser cut wood and card kit.

The kit needs making and painting/weathering.

Detailed kit for the more advanced model-maker.

Instructions are not in English.

Scale 1:160 for N gauge model making.

Image shows finished kit, hen not included"
