Farm? Where?What decade?
JUL 10, 2020 - 12:29 AM
Pretty universal late 19th to well into late 20th century western europe. The roof shingles are a bit outdated for germany post 1970s but the wall with plaster can be found in use even today.

Now you are German and if you take a look at farms, in Germany they do not look like this. I come from east of the Netherlands, near Bocholt and I know a lot about what it should look like. Never have never seen a ramp in any farm building. Never seen a double door cramped up in a corner like this, when it belongs to a farm. This looks more like a Cooperative building for farmers. A trading building for local farmers.

The ramp - actually my home (granted: Part time farm) had it till the 1970s. Hole was for the coal. At that point we did a major renovation. My uncles house (build in the 60s) had one even longer. Same reasons. The layout depends a lot on the ground/how deep are you willing (and capabel) to dig your cellar (we have a high groundwater level and the "reinforced concrete bowl" type cellar was not common until the late 70s) Tools shed/garage for the tractor (or the Einachser) etc - location depends on who is building and when/where. We had a seperate one but a neighbour had one integrated in the house. Germany had very limited laws on "how must a building look" well into the 1980s, at least if you go to the towns/subburbs (The german subburbs are often assimilated towns). There are exacty TWO houses on the street where I live that look identical. Because they where build by two brothers sharing one set of blueprints and one architect and one building company... Oh and Bocholt is mainly post WW2 construction. Someone blew up more than 80 percent of the city..

Hit the nail on the head there. It's hard to compare some of these kits to what might be standing now. Better off researching pictures of the area pre WW2 or during the war. I know when I lived in Northern Germany (Kalkar) most of it was damaged or destroyed during Veritable.

Looks like a smaller version of Mini Art's "Ardennes Building": LINK

That is good example of giving a kit some reference. The offering above to me is a collection of universal building elements, maybe to assemble 'a farm'.

Problem solved... LINK

No real problem with the building; I assumed that it was Italian or something in that region. My only beef is the lack of depth to the building as I would stage it three-quarters on so I'd have to build the side wall, rubble, etc. as I usually do. Oh well.
