Some French Buildings (4) .. Shop ..

 I used the left over shop front bits from the Valiant 1/72 house and combined them with an ArmourFast 1/72 Farm House to make up a shop...

Some French Buildings (3) .. Church

Had to have a suitable church, rather than faff about and scratch build one to suit I found a nice 3d printed one. I went for the iconic one from St Mere Eglise - printed for 15mm.

Why 15mm ? Any bigger for 1/72 or 28mm and it would dominate the table too much. It is about a foot long and nice inches tall (no bigger in footprint than the church I use for Somewhere in England).

I had to tweak the main door to make it larger, by filling in with cardboard - works ok for 20mm figs - a bit small for 28mm figs, but will work well in game as a backdrop item ...

Some French Style buildings (2) ....

 

This time, a couple of Valiant 1/72 French House/Shop kits, good solid buildings with the option for 'instant ruin' where the top half comes off.  For me I wanted them solid so filled in the slight gap between the two halves with some wood filler.  

I made up the two - one as a shop and the other as a house.....

they'll get painted up at some stage.
