Another couple of Arabic buildings released today; a small hut and a large house. Both with simple interiors and removable roofs.

I am making a tutorial using some of these in a small compound for OSHIROblog soon 😊

Large Arabic style house painted in a fetching cream with a deep orange door and pale blue dome on a blue/grey background. There are a couple of nefarious types looking for loot… Showing the parts of the large house and the nefarious types are rather confused as this wasn’t what they were expecting. A small shack again painted cream on a blue/grey background. A less nefarious type has just come out from behind it…

Finished off a Star Wars Visions inspired building base that had been sitting there for far too long.

Japanese building and sci-fi bits from the catalogue plus some scratchbuilt elements 😊

Looking at the building base from the front right. The two story Japanese building has a sci-fi canopy on the front with a little shelf and some goods on it. It’s got a cylinder thingy on the roof that’s connected to a larger sci-fi thingy at the back. Various crates and cylinder thingies festoon the base which is quite verdant. Looking at the left hand side shows the cylinder thingy connected to the larger thingy. The building has a sci-fi thingy panel on the side with some suitable weathering/rust. Back right quarter showing the thingies off to greater effect. The large thingy has a control panel but your guess is as good as mine as to what it does. A low down look at the front better showing the shelf with things on it. A young Jedi on the left prepares to deflect a blaster bolt from the scout trooper on the right. I say prepare because I didn’t bother adding said blaster bolt in post process 😬

Another range has been released and it's Arabic buildings. Mainly for the crusades but can be used for Pulp, WWI & WWII but also for fantasy games like Sinbad or Conan. The choice is yours 😁

More in the next few months.

A two story Arabic style building painted in a pale cream with a pale blue dome on top. Couple of 28mm crusader figures for scale. Grey (ish) background The single story building with the roof and dome off to show that there’s interior access. The two crusader figures are looking on in wonderment as this has never happened before. The third build in this ‘wave’ and the roof and dome are in place so all is well in the world.

A shot of the skep shelter with three skeps or beehives inside. There is an ECW soldier next to it for scale (28mm on a 25mm base). A photo showing the parts of the shelter. Three skeps in front with a little shelf behind them. The roof to the right and the main shelter to the rear.
