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

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.

Those buildings made me wish I was playing in that scale! I have been collecting 28mm, and while I don't mind the cost of the figs, the terrain is a pain to find at a decent price. Those buildings look very cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks for featuring Jerry's Hobby Junction. Jerry is a neat guy -- I trained him in the art of resin casting and he bought several of my lines of buildings. He's trying to build a good business and I hope the 10mm guys will support him as his business grows.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Jerry's had somehow slipped beneath my radar, and the line (buildings and earthworks) looks great
