I am drawing a mental blank. UK company specializing in wargames buildings – not HOVELS – made their products in very hard substance (resin?). Made a wide range of buildings over many periods. HELP!

Gallia?

Do you remember the color resin? Gallia was grey, Grand manner yellow-white.

Thanks everyone. John is the winner – GALLIA! I'd forgotten about Gedemco though. I had a number of their European buildings. Village Green – one of my favorites! I had many pieces which I unfortunately sold. Great stuff. I have some great 20mm European buildings from Grand Manner. I also have some nice Sudan items from PMC. Does anyone know where I could get a listing of Gallia and Gedemco. Thanks everyone for your help. My reason for this posting is I picked up two small desert buildings (2525_ _) and a nice gate tower (25Y04; not sure about "Y") from Ebay a week ago and about four years ago, I passed up a chance to pick up a painted fort with the same gate tower for $150.00 USD. I still kick myself over that. Thanks! Hal (halthinglum@aol.com)

The Gallia colonial fort was excellent.

How about the DRUM. What happened to them?
martin goddard	01 Nov 2018 1:08 a.m. PST
The drum. Excellent buildings. John Green. Their Spanish 15mm range is now made by SHQ. As seen in pictures of the Peter Pig SCW games put on at shows. I have no clue about the rest of the stuff. When John Green died, the company disappeared very quickly, due to various circumstances. The drum (in Towcester) was a fine shop with great proprietors.

RAGBONES. thanks, however, Warrior Carrie's only the interesting Gallia 15mm figure lines.

Mayhem? Weren't they also in the lineage of the Drum buildings?
