Le Haye Sainte - Italeri 1/72 scale

This weeks project was building the Le Haye Sainte MDF building set from Italeri.


Italeri 1/72 scale Le Haye Sainte

Intro

This comes in three separate boxes - the Farm House / Outer Walls, the Stables, and finally the Barn.

The build took about 4-5 hours over the coarse of a Saturday. As the walls were somewhat thinner than my usual foam-core creations I decided to reinforce a number of the joints



The doors and windows are made from card and supplied in strips - I glued them on before assembly




The completed model

The whole model covers an area about 2 foot square, so a decent sized centre piece for a game. As the major components are separate the Barn and Farm House could be used separately, as could the Buttery. Although 1/72 it will work fine for my 28mm figures

  3. Just spotted this - I used superglue, the runny-type not the gel one. I'd previously been warned that wood glue / PVA has too much water in and this gets absorbed causing warping in the joints
