Anyone ever use the dioramma sets from JG MINIATURES?? I think some of their stuff would go great with Napoleonic stuff. I there stuff up to par with King & Country (diaraama wise), and will 60mm be too big for their stuf.

Absolutely, yes, yes, yes!

JG is awesome.

THe one thing to consider is that the majority of the range is 1/32 - a bit smaller than K&C. If this doesn't bug you too much then go for them - you be very happy.

I'll be getting some in the next month or so. If you see anything that you really like just let me know.

Yes, Shannon mentioned she could order the stuff, I was thinking about getting one of the barns, maybe the long barn for my American Revolution collection, but was wondering how off scale it would be for k&c figures.

I have almost all of the older JG buildings (ruined barn, long barn and shed, stable, tractor shed, blacksmith shop, Yorkshire farmhouse, Inn facade, hen house, and the thatched cottage). I use them with both WWII and Napoleonic dioramas with K&C and find that they are perfect. Some would say the door frames are too small, however, Europeon door frames are smaller than US door frames and they were especially smaller during the 16th and 17th centuries when people were smaller.

I recently sold some duplicates of several of these buildings and the response I got from the buyers was they felt these buildings were fantastic. Take a real building and shrink them to their current size and you have a JG miniatures building.

The barns each have three large arched opening on one side and one on the opposite. The shed portion is great looking and very realistic especially with the new Build-a-Rama carts parked under it as if the farmer were storing his produce out of the weather. The GMC 6x6 will not fit in the barn, but other smaller vehicles will. I would buy them all over again.

I love JG Miniatures - John is a really nice guy and a talented artist - please see my latest pics in the photo album for his winter stuff - fantastic realisim on the bushes, buildings, boxes etc

I also have some pictures in the album of his Normandy village and pillbox, again tremendously realistic.

I made the mistake of buying a couple of things a while ago and here we go...

Desert stuff will be done next
