Who makes currently available adobe buildings in resin that are suitable for the desert southwest of the US, 19th century? Yes, I know easy to scratch build but I don't want to pull time from the main scratch building project for my old west town (after trains, after wagons, then the town – more than 100 structures total for that town!). The desert south west and the out on the prairie towns will be mostly ready made while there will be very few non-scratched buildings in Anachronism, the main town, that is the county seat in the "east". So, ideas, if you please? And thank you. (current availability is important)

QRF has some from their Maximillian range. Musket had some but they are currently unavailable.

The Miniature Building Authority has prepainted Middle Eastern sets that would work fine.

I have a bunch of very nice ones – unpainted – from Foxhole on sale for 25% off…. link

There's always the pre-painted FoW middle-eastern stuff.

Ordered the Scale Creep ones. Making a list of the others for when I have cash.

Thanks for all the ideas so far – and the links and photos especially. Alas, I really need ones that have the projecting wooden support beams to make 'the statement' I'm looking for. All of these would be great for many theaters, but they just don't speak desert southwest of the US for me. So, ideas for adobes with wooden support beams projecting – in resin? Again, thanks for your ideas, provided or on their way!

Buy without beams. Cut a piece of 1/8" balsa to add beams. Glue on with white glue, paint as usual!

Yeah, Extra, I thought about that not long after I posted. Though a bit concerned about durability with that method. I do like your sale prices, though. Will see. Just spent a considerable sum on an order so I might have to wait – I was figuring to find a source and, when ready, make a purchase. But maybe. Especially tempting seeing all those Peter Pig figures in the picture to give a sense of size. (yours, I think, have to check again – nope, Foxhole's own photos. wonder if the pirates win the battle with the other figures!?)
