Question is "Will ny FLGS get some in to sell to me?" |

nice models but honestly I must say they don't look as italian houses or any other country |

Functional but without much character. This of course makes them useful for a greater range of time periods and locations. |

Armand, Have to disagree today. I am not normally a Battlefront basher but agree the houses are generic and Hornby makes better stone walls. I do like the shrine though. Just my opinion. I actually bought their Russian houses. Joe |

I would think the red clay tile roofs and stucco walls at least make them vaguely Mediterranean. |

No, they're not nice. The italeri offerings are way better.
And I prefer 20mm for my ww2 skirmishing anyhow. |

The buildings would look better with a better paint job. These look cartoonish because they're too bright and like they were just built yesterday. Stucco does age, as do tile roofs. Some weathering and ground work would be needed to bring these pieces up to a suitable gaming standard. |

Why do they remind me of the Nam houses,which reminded me of the Soviet houses ?  LES |

These would be awesome if they looked like a house actually found in Italy rather than a model simply built to hold two stands with tile roof on top. |

They look a lot like the mass produced 'chalets' that litter Spanish resorts. handy if you're refighting the Battle of Benidorm circa 2014 link |

"I would think the red clay tile roofs and stucco walls at least make them vaguely Mediterranean." As above, they don't actually look like Italian houses, although as Etranger says, they do look like modern holiday chalets thrown together out of breeze blocks. The Hovels mediterranean houses actually look like the real thing, and I am fairly sure I have passed the original prototypes in some places (or things which look startlingly like it). |

What on Earth makes them 'Italian' walls? They could pass for walls generic to my county, and that's a long way from Italy. |

IMO after the massive variety in the European houses range I am not shocked. I will not be picking any of these up. |
| Generale Lechi | 05 Jun 2014 6:45 a.m. PST |
Actually, the box talks about "italian walls". As an Italian, I can say that in fact these resemble the "muri a secco" (ie overlapping stones without cement), very common in most of the Italian countryside. But I guess not only here. |
