28mm 4Ground Dutch Houses



All's been very quiet painting wise at Cassa Rousell over the summer.
I, believe it or not have stacks still to paint, but to be honest just couldn't be arsed. I do think 
the Painting Challenge does have a part to play here.
Anyway, as painting was out of the question I thought I'd get some buildings made up.
The 4 buildings are all from 4Grounds World at War series, but I'll be using them for the earlier
Donnybrook period.


I was quite impressed with them to be honest, they fitted together very well and took roughly 5 hours work to complete each one.


This is Dutch House 1


You buy it with only 1 floor


But I bought extension's for the buildings.


3 Foundry figures for scale


Dutch House 2


This is my favourite building


Rear view


Dutch House 2 as you buy it with just the 1 upper floor




Dutch House 3 & another Dutch House number 2


I did have 1 slight problem, 2 of the packs didn't have enough roof tiles, I called the 
guys at 4Ground and explained my annoying problem.


Three days later, I received a parcel in the post. containing 8 roof sheets!!!
So I swapped the roof colour of my second Dutch house 2 to a Blue roof.  



out the back 


Well worth every penny spent!!!!

Now what shall I do????

    1. Remco - I've found some photos of this style of building in Arnhem on the Onderlang, slightly east of the Christelijk Lyceum.

  2. Good looking result, Ray! What next? How about a figure parade of your Grand Alliance collection? Avoids painting too!

  3. Those are really great! Something a little different from painting models. Well done, sir!

  6. Great looking models and they can be used from the 16th century clean through to the present!

  8. Those look cracking, Ray. I’m after something very similar at the moment so very interested in those. I especially like the roof tiles. Nice to see 4ground provide an addition to a plain etched room. One thing I’m not keen on with mdf buildings is the lack of 3d effect on the roof, but these look brilliant 👍🏻
