Title: OGR model kits for city scapes?
Post by: Myrlyn on 03 February 2012, 10:08:46 PM

I'm just curious if anyone on this thread has used some of the O-scale building kits from OGR Publishing (http://ogaugerr.com/railroad/index.php?cPath=22) for their city boards?  Do you like them?  Any pluses or minuses to consider?  Does the scale fit well with most heroclix and 28mm figures?

The kits seem to be a good price, and with a little paint could look exceptional I would think. 

Thanks in advance for any info!

They stand quite tall. At minimum the doors need to be cut down heightwise, I simply added a couple of styrene steps on the building I built.

The windows are quite large as well but servicable. I divided them in two vertically to make each a double window and liked the effect.

They are comparable to Walther's cornerstone series or DPM's modular buildings. I don't have any photos of my OGR building but here are some Brigade Games pulp figures in front of a walther's Cornerstone building.

I have two built.  They look nice, but there are no interiors. That said they look nice and the large doors don't bother me.  Good way of filling out a city.

Thanks guys!  I'm less worried about interiors for now.  I may add some interior details using a combination of WorldWorks and Hirst Arts (with some modern resin components thrown in here and there), but the main thing is to get a street layout at first for Champions, ATZ and Car Wars games.

I've got several of them that I use for various games, and I think they work pretty well. The city buildings even come with a chunk of sidewalk for the front of the building.

Looks good.

I assume that pj is the one it arrives with?
