Very nice buildings. I was thinking about to buy some Snapdragon (or others) models, but these buildings are fantastic to build an small town.

The prices are good to me - especially considering each building is actually twice as much MDF as other buildings from Sarissa etc. because of the double-sided walls, interior walls, and exterior porches etc.  Toss in pre-painted...and particularly if you can take advantage of the free shipping - well worth it.  In fact I think I'll order the town and some thunderboxes right now.  lol

Now who wants my Sarissa buildings?

Well, the UK fellas don't get a say because I'm afraid they'd break during shipping...and the shipping cost internationally you'd be better off just buyin' them from Sarissa themselves!  :?

I just don't think the porches would last going through international mail.  :-[  Also, since they're assembled, it'd take a big box = big money to ship way over there.

Alright, mouth has been firmly replaced by money.

I ordered the full set of five, plus the outhouses, and another wall kit (I have one, but it's painted up for pirates and does not suit the Old West look).  I will post a review once they get here, and I'll be selling off some of my current town in my Drake's Branch thread.

Yay!  :-*  Thanks Great Escape.

Those are just about exactly what I expected to see from them. There are proportions that look a bit off, but then I'm picky that way, however, its not enough to keep me from buying some for Calamity. My paychecks will keep me from doing it right away, but there will definitely be an order in the future.

They ended up being a little wider than they were originally, simply for gaming aesthetics.

Greatescapegames, the second Main Street building (2 story blue one) is the internal layout similar to the red one or is it more "open"? Is it possible to see some internal shots of that one please?

Reason for asking is that I'm looking for a two story building that could be used more like a gambling hall/ saloon with "entertainment" upstairs than a shop/ house.

Cheers.

Sneak peeks from 4Ground's Facebook page - obviously the Sheriff's office...which unfortunately I don't need, but perhaps I can re-purpose or....something...(or sell off my lovely Flying Tricycle one, but it's so nice...)





This works, as I need to order a couple of sheds, and wagons etc. from GEG.  I hope you guys don't mind me hawking your own products!  They're seeing double duty between DMH and SnS...lol...

PS: Does anyone have some pre-shrunk wanted notices etc. like the ones seen in the photo?  Could be very useful.
