Normandy Village

Good luck on this search.E-bay sold an entire village two weeks ago and I see the odd single piece trickle through once and awhile.Almost as hard to get as my search for the Winter Tiger.Plus with a username like yourself I might be reluctant to trade or sell you something.
Just kidding...

I think now that we have a classified forum, that might be the best place for this. Anyway, dukemarketing sold a couple of these just the other day. I might be able to get the green house for you. I'll let you know this weekend.

re: Normandy Village

This is one product that K&C did that I was not really impressed with.
It came unpainted, I,m not a modeler so that left me with paying someone else to paint it, or leaving it as is which didn,t look right. Also the buildings all came on a large raised base which prevented it from going with form tech buildings.
I did buy a few of the painted village fronts (from Treefrog, I might point out), I have them as a back drop in a curio cabinet. To me they look better for display.
The best buildings of all time came with the WW2 Conte plastic playsets. That Norman destroyed church should be in the hall of fame.

Gary,

I think you're talking about NV 1-8, 9-18 are the facades and are nice. BTW, the Green House is on ebay right now.

K&C Buildings

Yea you are right I did not have the numbers in front of me.
Speaking of buildings was there any issued with the VietNam sets. I have a brochure that shows a qunset hut, was that ever issued?
Another, although not a building, are the beach obstacles that were issued with some of his first GI,s. I,ve seen pictures of them, but have never seen them for sale.

Beach Obstacles

The beach hedgehogs are pretty good.I picked them up a long time ago with my Landing Craft.If I remember correctly there are 5 total in the set.That might be the only thing I have that you don't Gary.Wanna trade for the winter Sherman

To me Gary is right on spot. The Conte buildings are the best. Pity they only sell them as part of their playsets, they do get expensive, and buying from Portugal I have to pay customs taxes on top ot the price. Also I have no interest for the unpainted plastic soldiers, perhaps I could give them to my son... Any suggestions/alternatives?
Best regards from Portugal,
