New MDF stuff available.
« on: 25 April 2013, 07:17:13 PM »
I know several of us use these, from different manufacturers, and as payday is tomorrow I had a look what is on offer  lol. These are my findings:

Sarissa have created some new kits, a wagon, a scaffold, sheriff's office and a corral set. http://www.sarissa-precision.co.uk/store/oldwestHR/

The brand spanking new Dead Man's Hand stuff from 4Ground seems mighty fine and tempting, for those who haven't seen them yet.


Nothing new from Battle Flag though...

I'd contacted battleflag before Christmas and there was talk of a Livery and Mayors office in the works. Nothing on the site yet though.... And it looks like they've dropped the big hotel too.  :(

What is the size difference between their "Heroic" and that standard Old West? Which one would work best with Artizan and Foundry?

I have a bunch of their "non-heroic" scale stuff and it works fine even with Black Scorpion minis which are definitely heroic.  Also, while it doesn't say so on their page - the full line (found on each page) is available in both scales.  You just have to email them to get a special order basically.

There are some items which only show up on the heroic page and some which only show up on the 25mm page.  I would go with either...though I'd probably lean toward the 25mm range simply because it's a bit more Artizan/Foundy sized.  They had some good pictures up at one point showing the different between the two.

You could always email them and ask.  I can't find the comparison pictures they used to have up.

I prefer the heroic stuff for my Artizan and Foundry figures. Purely for the doorways though to be honest. Without bases or integral bases, the non-heroic would be fine but my figures have the integral tab and are glued to 2p pieces which raises them up and it means that when placed next to a door on the non-heroic, they wouldn't fit through without crouching. It jars the image to my eye so I replaced all of mine with the heroic frontages.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Now wonder where I can get a church bell from?

Lindt Christmas chocolate Santa Claus or chocloate Easer Bunny have plastic bells on ribbon around them. A bit out of season now, but thats where I got mine.

Many Thanks! That's good to know.
