daddy4count Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Anyone here seen or tried the Old West buildings scenery from Plast Craft? I just ran across them, they're very inexpensive but I'm curious if the scale is a bit small for Malifaux games...? They say they are 28mm so I figure they should be close enough... I want to make a ghost town style old west board and these are cheap enough that it is almost easier and better than making my own! Any input is apprectiated...

Malal Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) I believe there was a bit of a review of them on the 2nd to last episode of Malifools (the Spooner guest appearance one) Failing that, wait for the PO Boys stuff to come out, it's by a guy on the forums that's just run a succesful Indigogo campaign. IIRC once the backers orders have shipped he's going to be working on bringing them to retail. (And if you think Plascraft is cheap, these will knock your sock off!)

DavicusPrime Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I liked the look of the plastiCraft stuff but I'm not currently planning on an old west style board. The pricing is pretty good. Right now I'm working on bayou terrain (when I actually get off my (_|_) and work on terrain, that is.) which pretty much means I'm making my own stuff. Po Boys has dropped hints that Victorian style terrain is his next project. I'm waiting to see that with much anticipation. -DavicusPrime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made most of my own terrain for 40k, and have plenty to play with for now... but I like the idea of a themed board for my upcoming Mali games...

Skywalker Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I just got the Microart Wild West Exodus buildings... They are superb!! I also have the sarissa buildings also but they aren't as good... Hoping Microart extend the range!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddy4count Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I dig the Micro Art line, first I've seen of the WWX stuff, very cool. I've looked at them before for Infinity themed stuff... Sadly for the price of one of those beautiful buildings I can produce three or four on my own... not as easy, to be sure. But there is some satisfaction in creating it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmeep Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 plastcraft also have venetian themed houses for carnevale and asian style for kensei/bushido/ten thunders. I have bought some from the asian line for my bushido board but havent gotten around to putting it together yet. a bit pricey but looking very nice is the arkham manor from fenris games but its about 70£ also look at the microart terrain for volsung if youre going for a more victorian then western city look.

daddy4count Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 It will probably depend on how much play money I can come up with in the next few weeks... if I can place another order at MM I'll pick up a few more game pieces and some plast craft buildings to try. If not I may just go buy some balsa strips and make a few of my own... I made an old west town with my dad when I was a kid... he bought this toy set that came with a cool little electric saw and all the balsa to cut, fit and assemble a small western town... hopefully some of those skills aren't completely buried...

i_was_like_you Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Here's to hoping that either the Po Boys River Boat is affordable at retail or they also offer it again in the Victorian indiegogo campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
