Hello Matt,

Could you be more precise ?
You know a farm in the south of France doesn't look the same than a farm in Normandy or Alsace Lorraine, even more in 60 years ago. Where do you want to locate your scene ?
Basically to answer our question, we can say the main material used in the 40's for building farms were stones and woods. The richer used bricks for the construction.
You can have an example of what a french farm in ww2 looks like with one of the MIniart building [url=http://www.miniart-models.com/linkname[/url] .
Ask more precise questions and I will answer.
Bet,
Julien
