Hovels resin buildings and Charlie Foxtrot fences |
Many many years ago whilst in England for work I decided that it was too good an opportunity whilst in the spiritual home of wargaming not to bring home some goodies.
So without hesitation I drove from Sheffield to Grimsby Town to visit the wonderful Coleman’s at Hovels and literally fill the largest suitcase I could find full of resin buildings in 25mm. Hougomont, La Haye Saint, Sudan buildings, ACW buildings and the entire range of Eastern European buildings. The plan was always to use them for my 1805-07 and of course other Napoleonic games.
I had first seen these buildings in early issues of Wargames Illustrated and a Miniature Wargames. Inspirational.

How good does that look? These early magazines never cease to inspire me. |

Prussians on the assault. Elite Miniatures figures and Hovels buildings are quite the combination. I think
This photo is from the late 1980’s or early 90’s. For a young wargamer at the time it proved quite memorable. |
After many years they are now getting close to being ready to rumble.
