Re: 20/25 mm buildings

Hi Tom,

Still catching up with mail  but I thought I'd let you know...

I just recently saw some excellent 20mm resin buildings made by The
Queen's
Hussar (UK company).  Although they are 20mm they would be perfectly
usable
for (real) 25mm.  They were in a range of Arnhem style town houses, they
were big three storey houses sectioned such that the roof fifted and
each
section lifted, plus each section had a replacable battle-damaged
alterantive.  I'm not sure on price but I think they were around 20
pounds
each, which although sounds a lot was not bad for what you seemed to
get.
I just had a quick glance through thier catalogue and it seems they make
quite a good range of buildings, both intact and battle damaged.  
Although
it's 20mm it may be an alternative worth considering bacuse its quicker
and
easier to buy that scratch build :-)

Stuart.
