I have not, however, found anywhere in the UK that sells them.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-58532831821333330072009-09-02T20:32:56.300+01:002009-09-02T20:32:56.300+01:00For 25mm gaming, I have a bunch of those inexpensi...For 25mm gaming, I have a bunch of those inexpensive ceramic "Christmas Village" type buildings.<br /><br />I just repaint the roofs to cover the "snow" and they work great for 18th century games. And, by painting two of the same building's roofs different colors (and placing them at a different angle) they become different buildings.<br /><br />Your Adriatic finds can actually serve in many different Mediterranean locals. <br /><br />Good stuff!<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-37189210738226984772009-09-02T09:33:50.132+01:002009-09-02T09:33:50.132+01:00Jeff,

I had hoped to visit the War Photo Museum in Dubrovnik and the museum dedicated to the defenders of Dubrovnik, but it was so hot and crowded when we were there neither my wife or I felt like joining the long queues at both locations.<br /><br />Similarly, the fort in Corfu was open when we were there, but the humidity and heat were both very high, and there was little or no shade inside the fort. We both decided that we would visit the fort if and when we ever return to Corfu, but on that day it would have been so unpleasant that we would not have enjoyed the experience.<br /><br />On the other hand, Gibraltar has so much to see that the time we had there was insufficient to visit more than a fraction of what is on offer. We will probably be going back there next year, and we hope to visit part of the tunnel complex if we do.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-2392462408971983432009-09-01T23:29:25.488+01:002009-09-01T23:29:25.488+01:00I liked your building purchases a lot . . . howeve...I liked your building purchases a lot . . . however when I buy things like that I often buy doubles because turned at a different angle (especially if a bit distant from its twin) they aren't recognizable as the same building.<br /><br />Nevertheless you made some good buys. Thanks for the travelogue.<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.com
