15mm Ironclad Miniatures Shanty Shacks or housing in Rayonia!

Got these from Ironclad Miniatures at a show this year, not bad resin models at all, Rayonia seems to have a lot of them at the moment and listed as modern affordable housing, nothing like this in Franonia!

Put some Peter Pig figures to show size and scale and apologies again for the pictures!






The roofs come off.......

    Ha.. great job Fran.. looks great and indeed they must be "High class housing with water front views!".. Just need to build that waste disposal site, and the water front view can be complete ;)

    Great rendition of anti-social housing there!

    I'm a bit in awe actually as I got to see just how small a 15mm figure actually is... I'd have to wear both sets of glasses at the same time to paint to that standard!

    That truck is a living lie! It looks really cool, reminds me very much of the shanty towns. Thought without the truck, it's not like they can afford one.

    Yeah but is that because you would rather have the poor being homeless, or are your citizens so rich they have no need of such "affordable" housing?

    So, the Franonian government is moving into the slum landlord business now? Eat your heart out Rackman!

    Nice stuff Fran :)

    There are people living in Third World shitholes that would try and live in these even at this scale.

    Rayonia is poorer than the Franonian press has let-on. Could be there is a mass exodus of Rayonians into Franonia being planned as we blog.

    Great looking hootches; I was invited into such an abode once when I was in Thailand. Dirt floor and sunlight poking through the walls. The owner loved it. Best, Dean

    I've always been fascinated by miniatures but I've never seen anything like these before. They're wonderful and really do look like the shanty shacks I've seen!

    Where is the miniature RV park to go with these shacks? And maybe a couple cars up on blocks?

    They're looking good Fran. I've recently invested in some stuff as well, taking advantage of Gamecrafts 15% sale for memorial day weekend, and bought myself some sci-fi houses from their Tomorrow's war line.

    Reminds me of Land of the Giants. that ...i think it wsa Gerry Anderson show from the nineteen seventies. The giants were always capturing the midgets and poking them or putting them beakers. Why they were so obsessed with them is beyond me, once you seen one Christmas panto midget you seen them all.
    Great sculptures and painting, you have a gift for colour symmetry.

    They definitely look like des res dwellings for Rayonia (at least they didn't have shell holes like the Franonian buildings you posted earlier!)
