This looks to be a combination... the inside walls that face the courtyard come from the Italeri model ruin which is a plastic styrene kit. The rest of it appears to be scratch-built around those two pieces. (see the article on "Scratch-Building a Diorama using the link below)

Are you looking specifically for a "farm house" building? There are several out there from Verlinden (www.verlinden-productions.com), Plus Models (www.plusmodel.cz), scalemilitary (ww.scalemilitary.com) and Custom Dioramics (www.modelmecca.com)

That house is from PlusModel.com. Here is a link to that building.

Good job guys, I was going to say a combo deal. Looks like a bit of scratch for the roof and maybe the wall on the left.

Somebody knows their stuff. Very good building kit recognition. There are some eral impressive non destroyed building kits out there. I apologise for not remembering the name of the company but perhaps someone else will. THey are the ones that do the Sparticus figures and ones from "The Vikings" (they do the Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis faces quite well)they also did a D-Day series. they had some incredible looking prebuilt buildings that got my attention which is why I wrote them to get their catalog, but that was a while ago. Look up in a old issue of Military History and you should get their address.....this is not one of those "PLAYSET" companies

The company that does the "non ruins" is possibly TIGER PRODUCTIONS... but they are temporarily shut down... (moving after a fire)
