NEWS FLASH! Three men build village in under twenty hours!!

      In an amazing display of ingenuity and energy three men built an entire village housing hundreds in under twenty hours of labor. This bodes well for the ongoing housing shortage currently afflicting 28mm miniatures world wide. Now back to that thrilling plane crash.

     OK, now that I have got the TV media thing out of my system it really went something like this; A while ago Dan A. had mentioned that he wished to put together some African/Mediterrainean buildings for 28mm wargaming and also said that he had the foam-core in hand and ready to go. I was on vacation and the weather was far too hot for doing anything out of doors so I said (foolishly), "Why not". Little did I know that Dan would show up with Kris (his brother), a bushel basket full of precut foam-core, a bucket of wallboard spackle, a gallon of PVA glue and ready-to-use template for making generic buildings. We quickly cleared the game table, fired up the hot-glue gun and set to work. Tacking stuff together with the hot glue gun was quick and fun once I learned (once again) not to touch the hot part, we banged out the rough shells of more than a dozen buildings in the blink of an eye.


all the building were constructed using this basic template

we added vestibules to some buildings to break up the cookie cutter look
