I am starting to paint ECW figures but also need some buildings and one that I cannot find anywhere for the period is a typical English country church: there are excellent Continental forms available but I cannot find something small and typically English, square tower etc. Does anyone have any suggestion as to a manufacturer of such a model in 1/200?
Yes...
Lilliput Lane! :o
Look in your local charity shops, there are always a few about (and if you can lose the base, so much the better)!
Or Hovels. :)
Seconding charity shops as an excellent source of cheap wargames scenery.
Houses at less than a quid a time can't be bad.
Leven has a good church or two (or seven or eight, actually).

The Leven (http://www.levenminiatures.co.uk/) range are lovely but are 6mm rather than 10mm, if that matters to you.

Thirteen, in fact.

Granted they're not 1/200, but might do. The last one s a bit pricey perhaps.

Thanks for those links - the last is certainly exceptional looking! But you are right about the cost.
Thanks to one and all: that is very helpful. It has been a while since I saw any Lilliput Lane in a charity shop but the model railways models look good.
