So,
As I mentioned a few posts ago, I fell in love with the 4Ground Old West buildings at Adepticon I knew I had to have a set. So after I sold my remaining Arnica Buildings at last months Gamers Garage Sale I purchased the first four Old West buildings from
Architects of War online store.
And before I get to far, I want to say that the folks at Architects of War store are awesome! They are fast at replying to e-mails and quick on shipping. In fact I ordered these buildings on a Saturday night and I had them at my house the following Wednesday. I highly recommend ordering from them and I will be placing more orders with them in the near future.
So back to the 4Ground buildings, I decided that I would order 3 of the basic buildings and the Sheriffs office as well as the Hitching posts set.

So, each building took about 2 hours to construct, the first kit took a bit longer since it was the first 28mm building of theirs I put together. I used regular white Elmers white glue to assemble them with knowing that the glue would dry clear. I decided to base the buildings and texture them since it makes the kits a bit more rugged for storage. You will notice that the buildings do not have any signs on them, I have not decided to hand paint them or use the ones on the Great Escape Games website (these buildings are for the Dead Mans Hand game). We will see but I am leaning towards painting my own signage.
I do have to say that these are the best old west buildings out there. They are nicely pre-painted kits and they have pre-painted interiors as well. Two hours of construction and you get an awesome looking building that requires very little paint. So here are a few pictures of the finished kits.

Here is the Sheriffs Building that I really wanted while at Adepticon. I still need to base this building.

Well there you go, the first four building built and ready for some old west action.

Those buildings look awesome.
ReplyDeleteDamm you, my will is slipping again for old West.....already trying to get gaming mats and scenery for Bolt Action, buy some modern buildings for supers and strange aeons and then some smaller gauge for Robotech...now you do this to me! They do look great!
ReplyDeleteAOW also is a great company, my buddy has ordered from them a few times and is VERY pleased with their speed of service and how they take care of their customers.
They look great Tim. I am very impressed with the fact they are prepainted. We need to load our six shooters and get a game in.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Tim, that Sherriff's building is excellent! I also have good things to say about Architects of War, they are indeed quick & I intend to order many more things from them.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, I really do love these kits.
ReplyDeleteHey Styx, don't fight it man, just embrace your Wild West side man!!
So after my first 4Ground building experience (which was long and complicated), I've come to really like their products too. I have several WW2 buildings now. Your old west ones look great.
