Industrial & Commercial Buildings

In addition to the ‘chocolate box’ hamlets and villages of the countryside, the project needs buildings that will represent the industrial and commercial powerhouse that was the Victorian Age. These mostly brick-built structures are created from laser-etched panel kits designed and produced by ‘OSHIRO modelterrain’, supplemented by cast resin, 3D prints and scratch-built pieces as necessary. Unlike the half-timbered houses, these buildings have removable roofs for figures to be placed inside, as there are likely to be far too many individual buildings on the wargaming table to be able to track who is where.

The ‘OSHIRO modelterrain’ products are self-assembly kits, many of which are catalogue items while some are bespoke designs. In creating a cohesive industrial or commercial site, various building kits are combined and then based on a MDF tile.
