Review: N scale, Early American Structures from Jerry’s Hobby Junction.

One of my biggest concerns before beginning my 10mm Civil War project was the possible lack of a good line of buildings. After doing some searching online and posting on TMP, I was very happy to discover that Jerry’s Hobby Junction was selling a range of resin N scale Early American structures designed by Jim McCarron of Rustic Rails and Musket Miniatures. I have always been a fan of Musket Miniatures 15mm buildings so I was confident that their N scale buildings would be perfect for my 10mm gamming needs.

This range consists of 32 different products including various sized houses, commercial buildings, outbuildings and a two story plantation mansion. I believe that these building were designed to be generic but several reminded me of historic buildings. On top of that they also offer a range of detail items that include tents and field fortifications.

Jerry’s Hobby Junction has a nice web site that offers photos of all their products. The only downside to their website is you can’t place orders online (other than e-mail). I phoned in my order on June 14^th. Jerry was very friendly and the order process was simple. To my surprise I received my order on June 17^th!

As I was expecting, these building are excellent. They are very clean and have good detail. Even better, my 10mm Pendraken figures scale perfectly to these buildings. I highly recommend these building for use with any 18^th or 19^th North American conflict. Below are some images of the buildings that I purchased. For more details please see Jerry’s Hobby Junction web site.
