i need a smallish building......recommendations?

Post by aferguson » Mon Aug 18, 2008 6:30 pm

Looking for a european looking building or building front; about 12 inches long by 8 inches high by whatever.

Any thoughts? The Playmobil Victorian house is too big for my needs.

Look at some of the Euro farmhouses by Playmobil. They might be along the lines of what you are looking for. Check in the add-ons section of their website.

Yes, I would highly recommend the Playmobil European farmhouses. I do not own one personally, however my brother purchased one online a couple years ago. Very, very nice and quite German-looking. You might want to use some sort of dull-coat on it as the plastic may be a bit bright and unweathered.

Pola also makes a number of European style buildings, but you might have to resort to ebay and high prices to get some of the better ones.

Just online now. They were at retail, but during the old days some 15-20 years ago.
