Wigwams

http://www.wargamescenics.com/

Vatican Enterprises sells products made by Hudson & Allen. They are the same folks who made the Alamo in 1/72nd scale. This is their three wigwam set, also in 1/72nd scale. It has three similar buildings on a single base all molded in foam resin. They are hollow and quite durable. There is also a little campfire in front of the center structure. I got three of these sets to make a little village. When I combine them with the smaller Imex Eastern Friendly Indian sets building, I will be able to make a large village. Typically, these buildings were surrounded by a palisade in Eastern American Indian villages.























These Indians are conversions, the one with the rifle has a US Army M1 WWII era rifle. I cut some Indians in half to make horse mounted Indians into standing figures; firing a bow & arrow and a rifle. I wanted an M1 rifle for a WWII era game we were playing.






















This figure is from Eagle Games. It shows that these wigwams will work well for Indians, and even African native and probably other primitive peoples too. Clustered together these buildings make an instant village. There are two similar but larger buildings listed in their catalog as out of stock, but I hope to get those sometime in the next few months.
