You want to buy them? You want to sell them? You want the names of manufacturers? This is not a tweet--you can go longer than 140 characters and provide information that will make your post intelligible! |

I like how this starts, "I have some small part of a whole collection and now want it all." How many times that has happened to me? I have a figure, or a building or some such artifact, and end up spending multi-hundreds $ for everything. It's like Stone Soup. Dom, I have a few of the Steve Barber models but they are small compared to Murch, Copplestone and Brigade. Were these earlier models or the current range. His Napoleonics are a good size compared to other 28mm. |

There is the Mean Streets paper buildings at The Virtual Armchair General that are specific to the time period that you are talking about. |

Whoops, I see these have already been mentioned. They are very nice, though. |

"Mean Streets" has been extensively reworked and are far superior graphically than before. Photos of new examples are available on request from TVAG@att.net All designs are still available in print and PDF form, so anyone can get into these very inexpensively. Drop by link and see for yourself! TVAG |

I am a huge fan of the Litko buildings. Take a look at my blog (www.bucksurdu.com/blog). I can't look up the actual story link right now, but if you go back to around December, you'll find pictures of several I did. |
