Does This Building Look Suitable For VSF?

[Dewbakuk]

PMC do a nice painted factory on EBay for £25 that would probably suit

Link? Doing a search for PMC factory turns up 0 items and doing a seller search for PMC gives someone in America.

If I had the spondoolies I'd buy this beauty Svennn found:



A snip at 60 Euros!   

Here's the link to the site:

He advertises every 3 days with new stock, so keep an eye, there are two different models.

I also found a makeover thread that gives you an idea.  You can leave the chimney off or on.

Thanks for all of the feedback!

I'm REALLY tempted to get this kit ( and the wife has given the go ahead for the funds) but shelling well over £100.00 is a little off putting. I'm trying to weigh up raw materials and time taken to see if it'll be worth it.....

I am very impressed with the factory from Tabletop-World ( cheers Thunderchicken). I think it's got a real "Steampunk" feel to it and would look excellent in a Victorian Era "Post-Apocalyptic" type game. Hmmmmm..... what's the exchange rate like....?

Although a different type of building the Tabletop World one knocks spots off the OG one for me.

If it was my choice and I had those funds I would consider getting two of them and connecting them with some cast iron walkways.

Sounds like a plan..........
The OG one is absolutely huge so in the scheme of hings it's not that expensive compared to Tabletop World. I d agree that out of the two the Tabletop world one is the nicer model. Me thnks an order will be going in shortly.

It's a pity that this one is only a computer generated 3D model :

Ooh that is nice

Do you have any other shots of it? Is it a 3d thing that can be spun etc.

That needs building that does

[Pappa Midnight]

It's from a site for "Daz 3D" which is a 3D rendering programme.
Here's the page I found the Factory on:

If you click on the small pics it opens up the different variations.

the building is pretty expensive...
however, it is very nice and fits around 1850 as the date of building pretty well, even in US

it is however not very complicated to build with some brick/stone-wall railway plastic sheet and windows -
Check Auhagen in Germany

I think you fine as is ,but chimneys could only improve the look, did the use of post or rails(for securing horse  leads)ever see much use?

I liked the look of the render. So I grabbed some scrap pieces and took them into the shop.



Would something like this work? The chimney is just a piece of paper rolled up but a proper brick chimney would be easy to make a mold of.

Ahuh.......

Yep, that'd work, although you need the big pipes running around the exterior too.

Hell, man. You sound so casual - "...grabbed some scrap pieces and took them into the shop..." indeed. 

That looks awesome - what sort of "shop" are you in possession of that you can crank out masterpieces like this so casually?
