Come and say hello, I'll be running the VSF game adjacent to the Oshiro Stand along with Dr DeAth and Mason.

And we should be there too.

Should we wear LAF badges?

I wonder if we will see some dedicated Victorian buildings fron other mdf manufacturers?

That I've seen so far for Salute:

Bibbly's Buildings (although they're lasercut acrylic I believe, definately not MDF)
Sarissa Precision
4Ground
Wolsung (fantasy variant but should have usable bits) should have some stuff on display at least.
Warbases terrace buildings.

Anyone else?
So many projects..... so little time.......

I didn't know about 4Grounds. I have quite a few (5) of warbases' buildings but I'm using them as a base.

Looks excellent. The main thing that makes me hesitate about these lasercut type buildings is that the brickwork is far too regular and smooth. I do wonder if perhaps it wouldn't be possible to roughen it up a bit and improve the look so it's less perfect and more weathered.

It reminds me of years back when recording music via pc and keyboard - the human element was lost as it was all so 'perfect' - there was a gizmo you could use that added an element of error in that helped.

I think I'll give (physicially) weathering it a try, to break up the smoothness and the perfect lines.

Looking forward to seeing someone try first, as I dont like that look either.
Reminds me of a childrens TV programme with those colours and everything so 'perfect'.

May not be worth all the bother.

As well as using paint for weathering you could try a dremel with a fine tip to better define the bricks.

I don't imagine they will be especially cheap so if you have to do a lot to them to achieve the look you want, it might be better to make your own.
