This rather attractive North African house, the latest building release from Italeri, has piqued my interest. The only problem is that none of my gaming is set in the North African desert! But maybe this house could make a neat Spanish Peninsular War outpost (perhaps with a little work to remove the dome and add some pantiles here and there). And it would also make a great harbour building for pirate games.
I already have their two Italian houses in my terrain collection, and nice they are too. Even though 1/72 scale, with a small amount of work on the doors they easily translate to 28mm.
Italeri also do an impressive Italian church model. I would eventually like to add this to my collection too, but missed out on buying it the last time it was in stock at my friendly local gaming shop.
I got one of the churches “at my friendly local gaming shop”. Tee hee! 8O)

I don’t think you would need to remove the dome for Spain. Isn’t a lot of Spain influenced by Muslim/Islam (I forget which) invaders from many years earlier?
Anyways, a very nice model
cheers
If you are still keen to get the Italeri Church now, Acorn Models have one in stock (or at least they did last week) priced around $80. I’m sure a phone call would easily secure it for you.
All sorted now, Wayne .. .Rhys has offered to sell me his one. Thanks anyway.
you dont need to remove dome if you know history
True, don’t “need” to for reality’s sake. But for me the hobby is all about perceptions rather than reality, and for me “Spanish” is all pantiles, not domes!
