This looks like you could run an entire game inside it, no shots of the interior yet though

That is one IMPRESSIVE looking tavern. The possibilities for gaming or just as a centerpiece are substantial. I could see building an entire town around that beasty. EXCELLENT FIND!
-
Wow! I really must have that. I know someone I can hire to make that into a masterpiece!
-
Their entire line of Fabled Realms so far has been outstanding with heaps of modification possibilities. I love their stuff --- luckily I don't (yet) game fantasy skirmish so I can avoid the temptation. The tavern is up there on par with their Saloon and Viking Great hall ---- huge pieces, with huge price-tags! lol
-
Wow. :-*
-
I wonder if an architect could use it as a blueprint for a wargames room....

Wow! A real monster!

That's pretty damn awesome!
-
Stunning bit of kit. :)
-
Indeed. Massively impressive. ;-)
-
Oh my! Now I need to make up an excuse to get that! :-* :-*
-
Well impressed with that. :D
-
It's phenomenal what they can do with laser-cut stuff these days! I've been admiring all the stagecoaches and wagons coming out recently too.
That said, I was comparing this inn to the resin coaching inn from Tabletop World (http://www.tabletop-world.com/coachingInn.php), and the 4ground one is quite a bit more expensive. This surprises me - I like them both, but in my experience laser-cut terrain can be fiddly to assemble, and always has some details (like the roof) that need additional work to look realistic. The resin stuff on the other hand looks gorgeous right out the box, with detailed interiors too.

looks impressive BUT the effect is completely ruined for me by the perfect tiled roof.

Agree.

Agree with that too.
However superficially impressive MDF buildings look, they are too regular (even when they try to make them look higgledy-piggledy, like this one) they lack depth and texture, and they have no soul. Personally speaking, I don't like 'em.
But you pays your money and takes your choice... ;)

Personally, I love them...and 4Ground sells alternate roofing kits for almost everything they sell (including tiles or "hay" etc.).
Knowing 4Ground the price is well justified on this one. I know which one I'd rather haul around to game in (the 4Ground MDF stuff is double-walled and all of mine have survived much "contact with the enemy"). Again, I have zero reason to pick something like this up, but I dig their entire lineup of buildings.
-
It does look impressive from the outset but I will have concur with the good Captain :D
cheers

I looks very good, but it would need some work to be really outstanding. In any case, I think this is an excellent inspiration for making my own tavern....well in some point down the line ;).
-
I was tuning of getting the Tabletop one but realised I would never paint it.......agree re the roof tiles though.
-
Hope ya post some real good close ups with minis
looking for step by step of the tavern setup.....
on the fence about mdf.. ???.....have couple dozen MBA buildings..great stuff
this tavern and mead hall look epic......but need more pictures ..of it in action

The neat thing about 4Grounds stuff is that you don't need to actually paint it...hell, on some of their other ones, the scorch marks from the cutter they use is part of the detailing and looks great
