Hello,
I am looking for suitable Buildings for "A fistful of KungFu". Modern Buildings, a little bit like John Woo-Movies and "Big TRouble in little China".
Any ideas?
-
Although these are designed more for the Pulp Era, some of the Chinatown buildings might be useful:

Thank you, they look good. But they are a little bit too expansive, I think.
-
A 2D solution?

Being honest, "D Solutions are very out of interest. Your games are too good for 2D-Solutions, I think, Glenn.

Great, do you know if they do more???

Not a clue I am sorry. Completely forgot it exists until I saw this thread.
Speaking of fist full of Kung fu I just put together a cop list for the game out of the models I have , just need someone to play it with now
These may not be modern enough but figured I would add them anyway

Something like this or other modern terrain would work too
http://www.sarissa-precision.co.uk/store/cityblock28/
Standard apartment blocks or other modern buildings with the odd Chinese/asian themed piece like the inn I posted would probably be the best way to do it.
Here is some more basic modern terrain not the prettiest stuff but it provides an ok base if you are not intrested in scratch building but from there you could paint it add some neon looking signs etc

-
Yep, I'm looking too. Probably scratch build, as all the pre-made stuff just isn't up to the standards companies have reached w/ Old West. historical Japan, etc. Odd that something modern hasn't been as well done.
-
This is pretty much what kept me from getting into this game. There really is no genre appropriate affordable solution for the terrain. Everything that was suggested to me was either futuristic, like Infinity terrain, or Victorian.
-
Looking at the rules it seems like a lot of fun so I will put up with futuristic terrain or slightly incorrect terrain for a chance to play the game.
-
I'm not happy with the rules, because they are too simple and everything depends on dice-luck. But the figures are fantastic and I maybe use 7TV as a ruleset.
Maybe someone has good patterns for buildings, so I can do them with plastic-card. Maybe cheaper paperbuildings.
-
I'll be using the Matakishi method of city-building w/ cork.
I like the rules!

Yes, I've wondered the same thing: where are all the modern buildings.

Not quite modern but I did these a while back...

Will these ever see production? :P

Have you painted up or out together any squads for fist full of Kung fu yet? Would love to see it especially if you are using miniatures that are not in the premade packs.
I've just started painting my squad up

I've just started painting my squad up
I started two policeman. I ordered some hasslefree-KungFu-Fighters. They are great, have a look on their website. But be careful, sometimes the differ in the scale between 27 to 33 mm, I think.
-
Yeah hasslefree are fantastic for the most part. Big fan of their Muay Thai and sumo minitures.
I just started on my police force

looking forward to seeing these painted. I purchased the rules last week. Might pick up a couple of packs from North star and then add to them with some stuff from hasslefree
-
Going a slightly different way with my cops, probably. Oh, there is a facebook group called A FISTFUL OF KUNG FU. The rules author is even a member and posts. There are a lot of good pics in there.

I'm going for Max Payne / action movie route with mine. I like how creative you can be with the game.
Like the clint Eastwood model.
I realise it's a bit futuristic but this stuff might fit the bill

-
For terrain it might be worth checking out customeeple. Its also for infinity but with an slight oriental hint. They do signs that are close to looking like neon signs and a bar building that could be made up to look like a noodle bar. Not that i have thought about it ;)
-
That stuff is pretty nice.
-

Nah, it's not really worth my effort for the small amount that might sell.
Happy to do commission work though (which is what these were for) :)
cheers

As far as 'Big Trouble', San Francisco's Chinatown was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and rebuilt in mostly brick, with the odd faux pagoda roof added as a tourist attraction. Chicago style pulp buildings wouldn't look at all out of place.
John Woo favored the grittier areas of HK such as the Mongkok district. A bit more work. Also industrial areas like the port, or interior spaces like restaurants which might make a good small board.
