Ok Who mkes these?
« on: 31 December 2013, 01:42:33 AM »
Bought these to supplement my 15 year old, nope near 20 year old scratch built town and thought them a good deal but cannot for the life of me find out who makes them? are they Troll Traders own brand? :D

Not sure, but that's a simple fantastic deal.  Four buildings and interior furniture for $50!?  If I wasn't stocked to the gills with terrain I'd be on that in a heartbeat.  Quality looks pretty good.

I've got the general store and the bank. They seem to be Troll Trader's own, as mentioned. They come with some furniture too, or at least the individual ones I got did. Fir the price shown these ones may not. The quality is ok, though the detail is not as good as say, Battleflag, but for a fraction of the price I was fine with that. I haven't yet assembled mine but a dry fit showed that they would go together without too much problem. I'm still thinking about this deal just to give me some more options.

Edit: apparently the interiors are provided. The only thing I'm not so keen on is the way the planning has been detailed. It seems a little clumsy in comparison to other ranges.

Cheers Elk, Aye I thought it was a pretty good deal, I like their theatre/dance hall which looks rather good. II have only scratch built (many moons ago now) so these are a nice quick and cheap addition to flesh the town out a bit :D

That should have been "the way the planking is detailed". Thank you autocorrect!

That's a great price. I think I'll pick up a set soon to fill out my town a bit. Cheers Lowtardog.

In that case I'll hold off on my planned Sarissa purchase as I still need a livery stable and undertaker's. Did they say when they might be available?

Asked question on their facebook page, apparently "Burns is just designing the rest of the town as I write this" was the reply I received :D

I've just emailed him and the stable and undertakers will be available in the next few weeks. I think I'll wait till they come out instead of going with my planned purchases.

Obviously I can't say anything hard and fast about these without having them in my hands. That being said I might use them for a quick throw together game, but I would not use them in my town of Calamity. While having the interior furniture is a nice add, the details are just not to the level l want to see. They look toy like to me and there is not an option to add a peaked roof as far as I can tell. The Sarissa livery stable is excellent by the way.

The level of detail is definitely not as good as Sarissa or Battleflag (I don't have any 4Ground to compare) but as I'm looking at these for side street buildings I'm ok with that. I can add a bit if extra detail myself. Pitched roofs would be very difficult with the current sign construction. If the prices for the new stuff are good I'll happily pick some up for the cheaper end of town!
