Thanks, Remington!

They're good solid buildings; it would have been nice to have a bit of variety in rooflines, as a lot of brick/masonry buildings have elaborate corbelling and such up long the roofline of the front facade. Sarissa's newer Gaslamp Alley buildings have various roof and floor options available; it would be awesome if they came back to the older CityBlock buildings and added some of that flexibility.

I haven't yet put chimneys on the roofs of mine yet, although I had intended to at first. The reason is purely practical: they're already hard enough to store without making it hard or impossible to stack them on top of each other!

Here's a photo from the weekend of the buildings in their first ever game... I need to do a grey "urban" matt or something similar now, I can tell!


Next up is going to be a batch of sidewalk and alleyway pieces in different sizes on 3mm hardboard like Sarissa uses for their buildings so the materials match. Trying to match the laser-cut pavement patterns will be a bit of a challenge but should be possible. I'm also planning a couple of fenced yards and vacant lots for variety, likely on the same size bases as the buildings.

Apparently Sarissa are on the verge of releasing pavement sets to match the integral ones on their bases. I emailed them about this a few weeks ago and they said it would be any time now. It might save you a job!

Great work! Tbh after salute, seeing all those laser cut building lined up, I thought that they'd never look brilliant painted up. Glad to see my doubts quashed though. The only improvement that I'd want to make would be the addition of cast quoins but that's just a personal preference.
