Interesting range of buildings... More good news!
« on: November 11, 2010, 11:36:57 AM »
Just spotted these on EvilBay and thought they might be of interest.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/25-28mm-Old-West-Western-Cowboy-Building-/300490486020?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item45f6a0f104#ht_2599wt_1141

They've certainly ignited my interest in Old West gaming again. Has anybody seen them in the flesh yet? I started scratch building my own western town a long time ago but it was yet another project that I got tempted away from by other shiny new toys. Really must get back to finishing it off at some point and thought maybe a few of these buildings would be good for bulking out my town.

I have seen some laser cut Old West buildings here in Australia, but unsure if they are identical.

I was VERY impressed and have no real interest in Old West games.

They also produced chuck wagons, tiny cogs, an outhouse and grave markers.

Beautiful stuff.

Very impressive.

Are they the same people that do the Victorian terrace ?

Just received one today and only ordered it yesterday  :o
I intially thought it was on the small side but once assembled, it is in perfect scale for 25/28 it would be way to small for heroic 28s. Very easy to put together and well made can be glued or left unglued for storage.
Quick review
Nice and robust
Excellent price
Easy to put together
Only downside a bit small no interior wall detail
I would give it a 9/10

What are the dimensions?  Are they scaled for Foundry/Artizan?

I was just about to order some of these for myself but missed my chance  :(
However, after contacting sarissa-precision, I received the following reply which sounds rather promising:

Hi Steve,
First I'll have to say thanks for you posting the link. It's received a lot of interest and lead to us selling out I believe as well.
They were not a one off, in fact we have loads of the same ones in stock with all front options and also the first batch of the larger versions as well all ready to list. We are a new company who produce mainly acrylic gaming accessories for retail. The buildings are our own designs which we are selling directly ourselves and these are just the first of many.
You might be aware but ebay limits the selling of new sellers in there first 3 months of trading to protect buyers. We've hit this limit already and it won't allows us to make any new listings withing 30 day cycles so we have to wait. Very frustrating for us given the interest and a real pain as they will not tell you what the limit is, you just hit it.
We plan to have our own website but it probably won't be ready for a couple of weeks which doesn't help.
If you want to give me your email I can send you some pics of the new medium size buildings and also the some previews of the larger 2 floor version which is still being refined but will be ready in about 2 weeks as well and we can take it from there. I'll understand if you wish to wait until they are relisted.
Thanks again for your interest, if you have any questions then please give me a shout.

Cheers
- sarissa-precision


Sounds good to me. Really looking forward to seeing what else they have in the pipeline  ;D
