Who else sells the Alamo in 25/28mm besides Hudson and Allen? Im looking for the entire compound not just the chapel.
Thanks

Hers a link to Ian Weekly's 15mm model, So you can get a idea of the size of a layout would be.

If you bought some of the bigger and unique pieces from the Hudson & Allen set, you might be able to assemble the rest from more generic buildings of adobe and the like, from Spanish colonial or Middle Eastern ranges.

I have the H&A set myself, and made a few modifications o additions; it's not perfect, but it will do the job, but it took me the better part of a year to paint up and it does spread across a good 4' x 6' area, perhaps more. I seldom set out the entire compound.

Here's a photo gallery of my completed project: link

Why does the Old Glory one show up in their 15mm category?

Because they only make a15mm and 10mm Alamo

The Blue Moon (Old Glory) 15mm Alamo is the most accurate model available. It is copied after the excellent Mark Lemon book, "The Illustrated Alamo 1836: A Photographic Journey".
