I though I would take advantage of the plummeting value of the UK Pound to order some 4ground terrain pieces from Caliver Books. (My goal to refrain from spending more was dealt a serious blow by the Brexit) I opted to pick up the Village Rice Barn and some fencing to get a feel for 4Ground's products.
I really like their stuff. This is the first MDF building kit I have picked up that includes a completed interior. The product is even designed for a removable roof. The colors are done in such a way that I really don't feel a need to paint it. (with the exception of the roof piece which will probably get done in dark brown)
The game table is currently awash in Lego Minecraft kits, so I was unable to set out the fencing, but it looks great as well. Here is a comparison shot next to a PlastCraft house.
I plan on ordering a few more of these houses, and perhaps replacing the Plast Craft village over time. Now if they would just do a Torii gate..
Nice buildings! You are not alone in succumbing to this evil ploy to get our money. I had expectations of reduced spending too.
ReplyDeleteNice building :)
ReplyDeleteYou might want to take a look at the range from Sarissa Precision - they have MDF kits for a Torii gate, a bridge, walls and several buildings. However, they do come unpainted.
Thanks for the tip, I will look them up.
DeleteNice items. I have been tempted by the "Brexit Discount" , but then I remember that my unpainted leg pile remains at historically high levels (for me), and have thus far not succumbed.
ReplyDeleteI envy your willpower!
DeleteYou say that now, but what about when it falls below $1.25?
DeleteThanks
