Egyptian Trade Goods - "Ahlan wa sahlan"

Now this is exactly what I was talking about, I picked up a number of market stalls from the miniature building authority last July. (see here)

The plan was to create an Arab market for the French in Egypt campaign, I needed to expand on these with various market goods, Anisty do a great range, even if I had to paint the apples as oranges.

Having purchased them at one of the trade shows, they sat in a box for 12 long months under coated but not finished.

Ridiculous they only took a Saturday.....

The first of Brigade Games French in Kleber Uniform are complete for the Egypt Campaign, painting has been curtailed recently due to the hot spell. But I am pleased with the results and they will certainly help Monsieur Canard given his most recent predicament.

The French sweep the market looking for bargains....

I thought I would set about building my own, I originally planned on BlackCat's stalls, but came across these cheap on ebay from the Miniature Building authority.

  

They are a little bit on the rough and ready side and the ready painted look needs a little touching up, espically the roofs and stall content but once based and the canvas roof's repainted I think they come up a treat.

Besides £7.00 for three stalls feels like a bargain you would get down the bazaar...
