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????
Nice houses, but never seen them here lol.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with them!
I shall try!
DeleteRemco - I've found some photos of this style of building in Arnhem on the Onderlang, slightly east of the Christelijk Lyceum.
DeleteGood looking result, Ray! What next? How about a figure parade of your Grand Alliance collection? Avoids painting too!
ReplyDeleteI'll do that soon!
DeleteThey look great
ReplyDeleteCheers Neil.
DeleteThose are really great! Something a little different from painting models. Well done, sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex.
DeleteDonnybrook ...do you play that system? Nice looking houses, I'll be poking at 4Ground's site to find them shortly.
ReplyDeleteDonnybrook? Never heard of it!
DeletePretty buildings Ray :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamsin.
DeleteVery nice and useful terrain pieces, Ray. They do look tall.
ReplyDeleteThey are quite tall.
DeleteNicely done Raymond!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Francois!
DeleteLooks really great!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal.
DeleteGreat looking models and they can be used from the 16th century clean through to the present!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Very useful indeed.
DeleteNice looking pair of buildings!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain, but there's 4 of them :0)
DeleteThose 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 👍🏻
ReplyDeleteAnd there's none of the horrid edges showing as well.
DeleteLooks good Ray, still haven't decided on buildings for my SYW.
ReplyDeleteMedieval European i'd guess??? Are we still allowed to say European???
DeleteExcellent stuff mate. You can't beat the 4Ground stuff for cost effectiveness imho
ReplyDeleteWell, except for scratch building of course.
DeleteI prefer to build these than the plastic figures I've had before!
DeleteThey definetly look like houses and Dutch !
ReplyDeleteYep, they are houses and the packet said Dutch.
DeleteI likes em
ReplyDeleteme 2
DeleteThese look great Ray. Nice colours
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon.
DeleteWhy Dutch? is there a cap on how high they can go?
ReplyDeleteNo cap at all, you naughty boy!
DeleteI'm surprised your daughters did not steal it for a dollhouse!
ReplyDeleteThey said they're too old for dolls houses.........unlike their Dad!
DeleteThey turned out well.
ReplyDeleteThanks David!
