And I proclaim this place to be known as... Obsession!
« on: 01 April 2013, 06:23:16 PM »
Work and family responsibilities have now been dealt with and I have received and put together a few of my orders, still awaiting delivery from Sarissa (shop, a house and 3 Small Plus buildings). I got some Renedra plastic barrels and fences from Arcane Scenery, delivery day after I ordered!!! Two General Purpose wagons from 4Ground and I tried to scratchbuild a Boot Hill. The base and most of the stuff is white foam core and I didn’t get the PVA glue to cover everywhere, hence the white spots. I can always pretend they’re flecks of snow…

Just a re-naming of Ashbury Poco. I had the suggestion at a different thread that I should name the town Obsession instead (it's all Za Zjurman's fault!  :D). In truth, I didn't have enough whole fence for the Boot Hill, but on second thought, now it can fit in if I play anything Deadlands-esque as well!!

No ribbon cutting, my lead people just emptied their guns in the air, hurrahed the town and got lead, I mean DEAD, drunk for two weeks.  lol

I DO blame you, because so far you've been right on both accounts. It is developing into an obsession ( I need this, and that, and those...) and it's becoming an expensive habit.  lol

Received my Sarissa order today (5 buildings) and couldn't wait so I cobbled two of them together and made some signs in MSPaint. I read Heisler's review of a few kits and that was good thinking, as I encountered the same problem he did with a few flaps that were too thick for the slots so I had to sand them down a tiny amount to make them fit. Never had this issue with Battle Flag's buildings...

Anyway, I give you Anselm Hoffmeier's General Store and Lars Sorensen's Pharmacy/ Dentist/ Veterinarian!

And yet another name must go on the list of those trying to lead me astray.

Shame on you, Legionnaire!

Fine looking additions to Obsession, I like especially the multi-talented Sorensen, he must earn pretty good solid buck with his skills :)

So how is the quality of these buildings in comparison to other you have built before, besides the minor sanding issue, that is?

I like that Sarissa buildings a lot, they have a more extensive line including some very nice adobe ones (although I don't have any of the adobe ones). Right now Battle Flag is like the Cadillac of western MDF buildings but Sarissa is not far behind. What the out of spec MDF that occasionally shows up from Sarissa is the only thing that really bothers me about their stuff. The only other knock I might have against Sarissa is when they try and make supports for the porches part of the sidewalls (check their north american line) instead of just separate pieces.
