Title: Idea's for these buildings
Post by: Leon on 09 May 2011, 07:00:02 PM
We've had these offered by a customer, all scratch built for a game they did.  Now they're a touch bigger than 10mm I think, and we're not sure about putting them into the Pendraken range, as we've also not really got any figures for modern housing like this.  I may take them over to Minibits, but I wondered how many people could see themselves using something like these?

Nah, I'm happy to produce them, I'm just curious about how many people could see themselves using something like these in their gaiming?

You mean after the test?  8)

Sry, don't see myself using any of it. Too modern, a bit too bland as well.

Cheers,

Are the roofs detachable?  If they're a bit over scale you'd need open roofs so you can position units inside.  Not for me atm.

I think with a bit of work they could be made to work for WWII. The large building would suit Southern Europe given a coat of stucco and the two small ones remind me of a lot of houses seen around Arnhem/Oosterbeek. They would need the garage door etc removed but otherwise pretty close.

Unfortunately not.

I think I'll need to work on them a bit and see what we fancy doing with them.
