All the buildings: Most are by Tactical Conflict Systems, a small scenery maker of days gone by. I am not sure who made the L-shaped adobe building or the shed. Either could be TCS or not. ----- Largest adobe building: The casting quality of this one is a little better than the others and the style is a little bit different. ----- Two medium buildings: These are nearly identical, and the smallest building is, essentially, the front half of the medium ones with a different back wall. ----- The Shed!: ‌ This represents my first attempt to use the "Hairspray paint-chipping technique." I am tolerably well-pleased with the outcome. The door was missing, so I made replacement out of match sticks and a bit of paper clip wire. ---- The Marines! These are Old Glory 25mm U.S. Marines as they were defending the Peking foreign legation quarter during the Boxer Rebellion. ---- A couple of closeups: ‌ ---- Some larger versions and a few more images may be seen here: Link

Great-looking stuff. Your comment, "so I made replacement out of match sticks and a bit of paper clip wire," should probably be turned into one of those motivational posters.
