Finnish 19th century buildings

These pages contain ideas on how to make model buildings for the 1808-1809 Sweden-Russo war.

First two pages consist of pictures of old buildings that have survived to this day. The purpose is not to make exact scale models, but some passable model buildings that look good on the gaming table.

As the building style varied in different parts of Finland and also over time, the pictures state the construction year and roughly from which part of the Finland it originates (like Western, Eastern (Karelia), Central or Southern Finland)
