I'm talking about huts and the like. What you would have seen in a rural village.

Oh, and while you're at it, what about rice paddies?

Thanks.

Timecast are a fine start for buildings. Peter Pig have a few nice hooches too.

Thanks.

Looks like their domain has expired….

Frontline have some nice stuff available from RLBPS.com I'm painting a number of huts, and emplacements.

What noone makes that I can find is 15mm Nam with accessible interiors…..

Timecast has a great line of Vietnam 15mm buildings, but don't know where you can get them now.

Pictors Studio25 Apr 2011 3:32 p.m. PST

I have the ones from Timecast and I like them. Doesn't Doug carry them still?

Try this: link

No fuss, no muss. light and easy to transport.

Timecast and Peter Pig for me. The Flashpoint ones are tiny – more like thatched dog kennels than hooches.

Our web site domain name expired over the bank holiday weekend and we didn't receive a reminder from our service provider.

We have re-registered the domain name and normal service should be resumed shortly.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Peter Pig's Hooches are great (I have several) and Timecast's stuff is wonderful.

Buckeye AKA Darryl10 Apr 2014 9:02 a.m. PST

Blue – There are no buildings listed on the Fernvale site. Am I missing something?

GeoffQRF10 Apr 2014 11:19 a.m. PST

Well that was 3 years ago.

Have you seen the stuff that is included in the new Hallowed Ground Terrain Kickstarter? Might work for you.

Hahahaha ! @ Etranger …once you get into the Asian countryside most of the "buildings" are like tiny thatched (Western)dog kennels …except that I'd be too polite to say so …and the dog(/s) also sleeping inside might think "you mean I would have my own place ?? …sweeet!"

Consider also the 'scale creep' of what's meant to be a small dwelling/'hooch', … that relative to the game scale measures 50 x 30 metres.
So is Game mechanics or aesthetics more important ?

Timecast easily has the biggest and best finished range of 15mm Vietnam themed buildings …really nice and imaginative pieces! Although the two from Peter Pig are my sentimental favourites.

The Manufacturer missing from the list is JR Miniatures which makes dwellings a removable roof. link

…as does Battlefront, and the interesting newcomer to the scene … Hallowed Ground Terrain.

For rice paddies ..Battlefront makes …and various examples from other smaller makers often turn up on ebay … or suggest to use cut squares of turf from a DIY/Hardware store or Flashpoint Minis …these also make mega-useful packing/cushioning for other terrain pieces, and are super durable. Some good tutorials exist for making yourself.

Hallowed Ground Terrain08 May 2014 5:42 p.m. PST

And don't forget that Flashpoint-Miniatures makes a nice set of them as well…..

Yes of course ! , four humble little thatched hooches plus a slightly larger thatched hooch …with a wooden door and window shutters …for the village headman.

Also included in a five-hooch pack are a few crazy-large water jars found outside rural dwellings in Vietnam.

…We also have a (new improved) animal pen and 10cm length of fence…(designed to snap in half if you want), and a 'village well' piece, so's to help with 'detail'(clutter) for your rural village ..about to be released.

Timecast also has a good bunch of useable village 'details' (/clutter)in their 10mm range that also works well in 15mm.
