Title: Look for.....Buildings for the French Indian War
Post by: whiteoak on 29 August 2012, 08:34:20 PM

As part of my reseasonably large Birthday Bash order - and especially as I couldn't make the meeting - I ordered a load of figures for the French Indian War - I'm looking for suitable 'back woods' buildings / log cabins and a stockade outpost for the French to attack.....any suitable buildings out there or do I have to sccratch build with cocktal sticks etc...  Thanx

I don't have the link but Google "Jerrys Hobby Junction" - a small American company that does frontier cabins in N gauge. Should work well with 10mm. Have a look and see if they will work for the French Indian War.

Easy enough to make with cocktail sticks - 50p per 100 in Asda.

Sunray - thanks fo suggesting Jerrys Hobby Junction - if possible I prefer not to import - I've got stung too mant times by Customs, VAT @ 20% and Post Office charges,

I have found Langton Miniatures 10mm AW! buildings  http://www.rodlangton.com/starfort/10mm.htm - I thought he only did ships....and Blue Moon do a FIW fort in 15mm http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=66214  which could be easily replicated with cocktail sticks ....as they say - watch this space

Thanx  Kelvin

Yes,  totally agree. I have the odd lecture tour Stateside, so keep a shopping list for each visit.

Glad you got sorted. Send in a few pics when you have them painted up.

If you are fighting raids into Canada, the Pendraken French farmhouse and stable are not out of place

This building is 17th century

As is this
