15mm barns
Here are the barns I made from the Warbases kits. Pretty nice, I think.

This is the smaller of the barns. It can hold two infantry bases for you know what game.

The larger barn has three doors. One of the slots for the door pieces was slightly offset (and I didn't fix it), but I don't think most people will notice.

The L-shaped roof is in two pieces. Maybe I could have glued them together, but tiling it would have been more difficult... hmm...

Mansard roof house
This is the small mansard roof house kit from Warbases. Actually, the top of the roof posed a big dilemma, because I have no idea what it's supposed to look like and finding pictures from that angle wasn't easy. I figures tiles or shingles on the flat part make no sense, so I glued some strips of paper to simular tar paper.

The kit comes with windows, but I left them out so my figures can see out better. It's a bit too red, maybe I should have painted the tiles another color.

The kit does not come with an interior floor, but it wasn't too hard to make one. To facilitate lifting the floor while it has minis on it, I screwed on a piece of 'furniture'. It was a late addition, next time I'll make a nicer piece in advance.

Here's the bottom floor. The corner pieces hold the interior floor. The two doors are simply glued on.

Choo choo
I picked these trains from a sale at the toy store for pretty much free.

They're not great models, but they pretty ok with 15mm figures.

Modular buildings
Here are my modular buildings from Warbases.

The scale is reasonably close.

VC reinforcements on the way
More infantry and some tanks base coated. I don't use my airbrush as much as I probably should because I'm not confident with cleaning it.

VC reinforcements on the way
Some sorely needed AA capability. And a wrecked staff car.

City Streets
Believe it or not, this is going to be a city.

Saxons gettting there
The huscarls start to get some color. Oh, and some boys in blue in the background.
|
|
Modular buildings
To add some color, I painted some of the doors and windows blue and green, which is what they really do around the mediterranean.
|
|
Modular buildings
I thought about keeping the doors and windows separate, but in the end I decided to glue them on. It was the right thing to do, with the stucco finish it would be pretty much impossible to blu-tac them on neatly.

And here's the cunning plan: On the back wall the doors and windows are always on the same side so...
|
|

... that when the buildings are placed back to back, the gap is as small as possible.

Here's another possible setup.

I left the interiors pretty bare for now.

Size comparison. That's a Gripping Beast plastic 28mm saxon knocking on the door.

The two-storey building next to a single-storey one.
