Colonial Houses and Town Buildings

Native Village
of small houses built as described on the Building Construction Page. Two story building in the rear is actually two one story buildings, designed to fit together vertically.

Large Native House
made from two smaller houses placed in an L-shape.

Built by David. Figures are small 25s from Ral Partha.

Domed House
The simple addition of eight wedges of foamcore and a dome made from half a plastic egg transforms an ordinary square hut into a special building. For maximum flexibility, give the building a finished flat roof and make the dome a separate piece which can be used on this or any other building, as necessary.

Built by David. Figures are small 25s from Partha.
