Seen these auctions on eBay but I admit being unaware of who makes these nice looking buildings. Does anyone know the brand name? Also, does anyone know with certainty these are the 18mm scale or the smaller 15mm like JR Miniatures? auction auction auction |

I don't know the brand but I have been looking for Papelotte for a long time. |

I "think" they are the Hovels Waterloo sets. The 1st one might be Papelotte.
The 2nd and 3rd ones are La Haye Saint and Hougoumont. |

I'd also say Hovels, as far as I can tell. |

No, those are not Hudson and Allen. They are resin, not expanding foam casts. I do not think Hovel 15mm range. Their Hougomont 15mm looks like this. link |

I'm quite familiar with Hovels as I own a good number of them and they do not seem to fit into any category that they sell. There must be another brand out there with little exposure. Not sure if these auction prices still make these a good deal or not. |

Opus Miniatures Waterloo range, via Tiger Terrain I believe. |

Those are nice. Instant compound. |

They are outstanding, whoever made them. Is the first one Papelotte or is it not Mt St Jean farmhouse? Obviously all three have dramatically reduced the "footprint" of each locale, but brilliantly preserved the character. |

I've been in touch with the owner of the company of Tiger Terrain/Opus Miniatures. Anyone wanting to order these buildings can contact him at: tigerterrain@gmail.com Steve has a catalog he can send anyone since he's not working with a web site at the moment. I am going to order La Haye Saint. |

Well, those are quite nice. But I'm not a Nappy. Will make a Nappy aware of them, though. |

Very nice models and, as the auctions are closed, one or more happy owners. Whilst there are some very nice 6mm buildings out there I would certainly be interested in the two smaller models should they become available in 6mm version. PS. It would be nice to see them again once they've been painted. |

DHautpol, I'm going to be ordering the La Haye Saint model and painting it for a review on my blog. I'll be sure to post a reference to it on this forum so others can see clearer, painted images. |
