I'm in th eplanning stages of a long term project. It will include a recon unit manning a forward observation point during the lead up to or during the encircling of the Falaise gap in WW2. now to my problem I would like to depict them while not permanantly seeled at least comfy in and around either a regular house or farmhouse. So far all I've been able to find are shelled out diorama accessories . Are there any houses or sets I could combine to make my dio. Iwould prefer a 2 story structure or a onestory barn / house with attic or hayloft. Also anyone have period photos or current of the architechture as I may have to scratch build.

thanks

Check out www.hansasystemsusa.com. They sell a full line of parts to build your own structures as well as a few full kits, including a Normandy barn. The full kits are a bit pricey, but they look pretty nice.
Hope this helps a little!

shiryon, I will have a look at my reference and see what I have for pics of that region. I will get back to you on this. Cheers Kevin

Warmachine, have you or anyone out there used the hansa system yet... It's hard to judge the quality of the buildings from the web site....LEGO.... :-)

Sorry, I didnt have any pics of falaise, try a goggle search. That should get you what you want. Cheers Kevin

There are two items in the MK35 range that might fit your requirements, not specific to the Falaise area but should close enough.

B001--Norman house
B004--Farm

You can find the pictures on their site at this address, http://www.mk35.com/

I did a google for Falaise pocket and found tons of Photos for reference, there are both city and country photos available, you should find the scenes you are looking for.
