A couple of months ago I got a bonus at work. Most of it went to paying bills and buying Christmas presents. I saved out a portion, however, to buy myself some buildings from Table Top World. Above is the Blacksmith's shop. Every town needs a smith, so this will work for fantasy and historical.
This thing could be bigger, I suppose. Photo from Table Top World web site. |
The last piece I got, because it was free with the other two, was the cottage. This can be part of a town or a farm house in the country. Either way, it will get lots of play.
This cottage is just amazing. Photo from Table Top World web site. |
These three pieces will go a long way to sprucing up the table for the appropriate games. I won't be able to paint them until after the painting challenge, but I'm sure looking forward to the time when I will be free to finish these up.
They came packed in news paper, which may not sound like enough but everything is intact and flawless. I have not found a bubble yet. This terrain is not cheap but you get what you pay for. Cianty has a review on his web site. While you are there, take some time to look at the rest of his blog. He's got amazing skills and really makes a table look great.
I've been saying that since they started business. I really shouldn't have spent what I did, but I figured it was now or never. I'll be looking for less impressive pieces to fill out the rest.
ReplyDeleteReally nifty trio of buildings. Nifty? Actually, they are gorgeous! They have a bit of caricature look to them. Are you planning to utilize them in your fantasy projects?
ReplyDeleteJonathan, they really are gorgeous. They will be for both fantasy and historical. I can live with the caricature (good description) just because they are so gorgeous.
DeleteWow! Those are some nice buildings-the detail is excellent.
ReplyDeleteI'm just sitting here staring at them. They are breathtaking.
DeleteDetails are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI've heard a rumor that they use actual stone to make their masters. I can believe it, looking at the quality.
DeleteThese are top of the line for sure. I'm not sure there's anything better out there.
ReplyDeleteThose are terrific models. I am sure you will have all sorts of fun painting them. Thanks for the review, I shall check this company out.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours a very happy holidays,
Michael
Michael, If you can afford it, this is the best out there. It's a little bit fantasy, but if that's what you want, or you are not too particular about your middle ages buildings, you can't beat these guys.
