Hi Jimmy
Monroe Perdu in America do a few buildings, well building fronts more like that fall into the North African description. They also do some accessories to fit in such as rolled up rugs and baskets.

They are available in the UK from Duncan at DB Models but you'll have to check the availability and price.
lMonroe Perdu items
If its a backdrop for your latest venture I think they'll look really good.

I really wish MiniArt would turn their attention to the Northern Africa scene

They also do some nice articles on painting etc. on the web site worth reading.

Yes I thought the prices of items was pretty good. The Windmill looks very good value.
It is worth checking out Verlindens mass of stuff , bound to have something as Gino mentions. As you know UK stockist are Historex.

Hi Jimmy,
There is another co. Reality In Scale that Faust did a review of featuring a North African building.
If the price is going to be an issue, why not have a crack at scratch building your own scene?
With the architectural style of North African buildings, they would be a lot easier to try your hand at than say a mid 40's European house with all of the detailed brick work etc.
Anyways, food for thought mate!
