In To The Reich

 With several of our latest games seeing the Soviets thrusting into Germany I thought it time to source some relevant buildings, luckily the likes of Faller, Kibri et al provide plenty of HO buildings which are eminently suitable and can be picked up relatively cheaply on EBay. So the last couple of months I have been trawling the listings and have bagged several ranging from 99p to £8.

First up is this, variously listed as a stable block, dairy or workshop but to the 20mm WWII wargamer it is a non descript industrial building. This one was not in the best condition reflected in the price of 99p which wasn't an issue as I wanted to put an hole in the roof and the missing door irrelevant as the wall there would be blown out I replaced the missing guttering where necessary with Wills building accessories, a sprue of which I had in the bits box.  




Below is another one I have in better condition so you can see what it look likes prior to the ravages of a wargamer, this one was bought with a farm building and if you half the cost worked out at £6.50.


 I have planned a 28mm WWII game with Matt tomorrow over Zoom using Bolt Action, AAR will follow in due course.

Locked down but not out.

  1. Turned out nicely again! And at 99p you'd be bold to complain!

  2. Great price, great footprint and presence. Also different enough from other buildings to add something to the table.

    1. Thank you Iain, I think smaller scale usually look OK with 28mm especially when based together for big battle games.
