I don't recall the maker's name on the package then but I have seen the same model and other similarly sculpted ones on Eureka's web site in the SHQ line. I can't prove this now as nothing posts for SHQ on the Eureka web site and the SHQ website does not oblige us with photos. It does however have some likely-sounding pieces in the 15mm the north/west european sections. <br /><br />Like you, I am pleased with the model though I've long thought it odd, for the same reasons you mention.<br /><br />JimJiminhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04151445540784836351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-55881224689052789572016-02-13T00:04:32.139+00:002016-02-13T00:04:32.139+00:00My 1st thought was court yard entrance for an inn ...My 1st thought was court yard entrance for an inn or great house but I seem to recall an arch at the end of a pier on the waterfront front at Louisberg. Perhaps this could be a customs house, no way off the pier without paying. Pure speculation and daydreaming of course. Nice buildings whatdver their purpose in life.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-72835006912839891512016-02-12T16:57:20.629+00:002016-02-12T16:57:20.629+00:00Because the guys who bought the moulds and the rig...Because the guys who bought the moulds and the rights for the Terrain Warehouse Vauban pieces have mysteriously disappeared (or at least have stopped replying to emails) my plans to extend my existing Vauban kit are on hold - I have a half-fort at the moment - there's some coverage and pictures at<br /><br />http://prometheusinaspic.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=terrain+warehouse<br /><br />TonyMSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-54024574034251006132016-02-12T14:44:44.823+00:002016-02-12T14:44:44.823+00:00I'm looking forward to the great unveiling of ...I'm looking forward to the great unveiling of all the Vauban bits.Pierre le Poiluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06436066439479804578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-67241221432448372182016-02-12T11:44:55.374+00:002016-02-12T11:44:55.374+00:00My peculiar system of 20mm soldiers and 15mm build...My peculiar system of 20mm soldiers and 15mm buildings might make it a tight squeeze for a coach, but you're right - the place you are going into might simply be the stableyard of the Pig & Whistle.<br /><br />Good shout on the varnish - thanks - I'll take a trip to the big city.<br /><br />btw - last night I discovered that some of my Dulux sample tins are going off - the Naples Red was solid last night, so I had to overbrush the brickwork with Flame Frenzy #2 - silly names, but still better than GW's Bubonic Brown. If I finish off current burst of building-painting then quite a few of the old tines can go in the dustbin. If I keep a careful note of the shades used I can get the local hardware store to run me off some fresh ones when I need them - the shelf life makes it a bad idea to keep them just in case.MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-17166371460000614562016-02-12T11:10:31.813+00:002016-02-12T11:10:31.813+00:00Wow you could drive a coach and horses through tha...Wow you could drive a coach and horses through that!<br /><br />How about trying homebase or B&Q for the varnish?Strykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.com
