Well, I say Farm, but I am not sure if this is a farm, or a wizards tower, or an inn, or quite what it is. I picked it up cheap in my local gaming store and its marked 15/15 on the base. But that is all I know!
It seems to be approximately 10mm scale, but regardless, I've really enjoyed painting this building, and I'm happy with the way its come out. Now, I really must get around to painting some Warmaster, or something else 10mm so I can use this building! :D
You comments and criticism are most welcome.

Is it stonecast rather than resin?
I think I remember who made those... its on the tip of my brain... A&A buildings ?
I think I recognise the style.
They are a pig to paint and make look good, you have done an excellent job
Wow 10mm. That's allot if detail from something so small. I like what you did. Sweet find and a fantastic paint job.
:clap2:
I can see farm. It kind of looks like a metal roof silo.
Thanks chaps :) I should have included some scale, but FYI, the front door is exactly the same height as a 1p piece or a 1c piece.
@Bungle: I'm not sure what stonecast is, but the material is kinda a litle plaster-of-paris, but quite a lot harder and not at all brittle or crumbly and it is almost the colour of Citadel Bleached Bone. When painting it, I also found it to be quite a 'thirsty' material - sucking up and drying the paint really quite quickly. It sort-of reminds me of the casts of my teeth they took when I was a teenager to see if I needed braces.
My google-fu is not strong enough to find any reference to A&A buildings (well, not a relevant one, anyway!), but I'm more than happy to bow before you're superior knowlegde with these scales ;)
@Theomar: I was thinking of the 70s (80s?) Flash Gorden film and the way the rocket ship blasts out of the building at the start as I was panting this dome :)
good job keeper.

That is stonecast. It almost rings when you flick it on smaller pieces, and could be made from dental plaster (stonecast is a trade name I think)

A&A building don't have a website. I think it is a Russian 15mm Church (onion dome on the tower)
Address 2 Princess Road
Seaham, Co. Durham
SR7 7SP, UNITED KINGDOM
Products 15mm and 25mm plaster buildings from TMP
I bought a load at one time, and gave up in disgust at the pain that they were to paint about 6 undercoats were needed.
Well done again
Thanks Bungle - I only just had chance to reply.
I googles the postcode and a I get a lot of stuff about dentists!!
Did you write to A&A Buildings then, to get a catalogue?
No I picked one up at a show.
Looks great mate but more like a factory than a farm to me, from the back anyway. Looks more like a concealed telescope\observation building from the other angles. You could have it as a mad professors hot air balloon launching site too as the dome could be the top off the balloon and you enter below it in the building.
Its not 100% like anything so makes it a lot more versatile to use, I like it :clap2:
Yeah, I kept thinking of the Flash Gordon movie when I was painting it ;)
