Fantastic Spanish Mission and other eyecandy ...
« on: 27 January 2010, 02:36:33 PM »


Isn't this a beauty? I just found it accidentally and had a look at canadian company Kobblestone Miniatures who produce a treasure of buildings and accessories for different settings and periods. Didn't know this company till now, so I thought I should show you this very nice stuff. Some more pics:

WOW!  I love that Spanish fort.
Though there were a bunch of stuff in the Gallery section I wish they made for production. ;)
And too bad the roofs don't come off, but still they are great looking!

I've seen their stuff before and honestly - don't hate me - I don't quite like it. There is something very surreal and fantasy about their terrain. I prefer scenery with a more historical feel - even for my medieval fantasy games. It still is top quality stuff, of course!

I had seen those before but well worth seeing again, and again.

Awesome!

My favourites are the Demon Tomb and the Sea Monster. The latter is SO straight from a Medieval/Early Modern map or the 1994 "Colonization" intro...

Yes, I've been drooling over these for a while now...

I believe the Celtic fort is now a production model... Almost tempting enough to make me want to invest in a whole heap of Celtos miniatures and re-enact the tales of Cúchullain...

But I won't. Too much lead in the mountain already...

I bet you could justify for the first round of the LPL...

I am inclined to agree with Cianty. Really nicely designed and made, and well painted too, but there is a touch of "Lilliput Lane"* about them that just leaves me a little cold. I have a feeling they won't be cheap either.

* Lilliput Lane made (maybe still make?) resin cast, pre-painted buildings around 10mm scale. They were intended to be ornaments but quickly got used as terrain pieces.

Make that three of us. Nicely produced but yes it looks far too cutesy/fantasy for my taste. The walls/gateway for the 'Spanish' mission might be useful however.

Those really are quite nice but I tend to agree that they seem a tad bit too "fairy tale" like. More like GW terrain stuff. Not realistic enough for me.

What a coincedence - stumbled across Kobblestone two days ago and ordered one of the medeival buildings straight away.
Lovely looking things in the pictures and I'm looking forward to seeing them when they arrive.

Doesn't look Spanish to me.  :(

To picture one: We here say, "Nicht Fisch, nicht Fleisch" ("Not fish, not meat").
It looks like a mix of spanish indonesian thai etc.
But so it is suitable for many settings  :D

AND, what ever - all buildings looks great!   :-*
