Benouville the game - Step 2 the buildings (2)



So I managed to knock 4 things (well, 3 1/2 - I've not sorted the cottages yet) off the checklist. Firstly I completed buildings A & B. The main houses were actually the same model (from Tiger Terrain - sorry no URL they've not got a site), but with different roofs.

Building A has a substantial barn/outbuilding running to the road on it's east side, so I added a barn model from the Landmark range.

Building B has smaller structures to the front left side & rear right side as you look at it from the road so I managed to use up some ancient buildings by Missing Link which I acquired many moons ago. It also has a large amount of trailing plant growth covering it's front. A gift from chum Jamie in the way of some poison ivy from Warlord Games http://store.warlordgames.com/collections/the-army-painter/products/poison-ivy would fill that role nicely!

I also managed to sort the back garden for house E. that's a Peter Pig model from their Normandy houses range http://www.peterpig.co.uk/scenery.htm with low walls for both house & garden by Tiger Terrain once again.
House E gets it's garden & moves to the more accurate position on the road junction


The grass is greener!
Finally for today, building F (Peter Pig's Normandy Farmhouse & Barn) gets a new 'red' roof to be more like the real one.
 
Please excuse the photos. they were taken quickly on my iPad & I'm no photographer at the best of times.
