Thanks for looking,

Those are very nicely done! For what it's worth, although many folks like Army Painter, I've chosen to use the MinWax stain, since I discovered they now have a substantial range of acrylic woodstains. That means thinning and clean-up with water, no fumes and faster drying.

But those buildings you've done are very nice looking. I've always liked Hovels' products.

Respects,

Very nice. I use Minwax on my building as well, as much to protect them as to rough up the coloration.

That painting is great! I have 2 of the 3 myself. Your are almost as good as mine…OK…better. I am going to have to take a second look at mine for improvement.

I just use the same hobby acrylics that I use for my soldiers.

Thanks for showing the photos. I like seeing what other people are doing with Hovels and the colors they choose.
I plan on getting a couple or 3 more buildings soon, and I was wondering what colors to use to make them different from the ones I have.

I meant I have 3 of the 4. Sorry. I can count, it just takes a while to get started on a Sunday morning.

Let me ask you guys if you think 25AC Wild West General store (from Hovels too) would work as a building in Eastern
USA?

or do you think it looks too 'western'?

Depending upon where you were planning to fight, almost all of the Wild West buildings could be used.

It seems Wargames no longer carries Hovels? Do they have a US distributor?

The 25AC Wild West General store would work out fine for ACW in the west or even smaller villages/towns in the east.

I have gotten my Hovels from The Michigan Toy Soldier Company.

Nice paintwork. I've always thought Hovels great value for money and a good paint job really proves it.
