The Clock Tower is produced as part of the TTCombat range, which I think is part of the Troll Trader company. I bought it a few months ago and assembled it soon after purchase; if I remember correctly, it took around 30-45 minutes to assemble, and assembly was largely unproblematic. It was left awaiting time for painting, and the painting was finally done this month. After a grey spray undercoat, the actual painting only took 45 minutes.
The TTCombat range looks to lack some of the elegant construction of Sarissa and 4Ground, but it is great value and is pretty well cut, so that to me makes it a range i would go back to. This piece was a bargain at £3.95 including shipping!
I am most likely to use this for Freebooter's Fate or Anima Tactics games, but I could see it fitting Victorian-era settings and could probably sneak onto a Pulp City or BMG table. The models included for size reference are from the Freebooter's Fate (Trucco) and Anima Tactics (Kira) ranges.
I totally and unreservedly recommend this piece if it could fit your needs.
I've been thinking about getting one of those for a while. I may have to splurge.
ReplyDeleteNot too much of a splurge at £3.95! A real bargain there!
DeleteTotally recommedn it Kieron. :)
DeleteA real bargain - have to agree with Rob. :)
Nice!
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice piece Bob. :)
DeleteGreat add-on item. :)
Very nice. Been looking at that clocktower myself for my Pulp City Board. Just wondering how i could mod the door to make it look less olde worlde.
ReplyDeleteI think the door was loose or can be easily cut away by design; so presumably is symmetrical in shape, could simply be reversed. :)
DeleteLooks great. Well done. I can see this getting some use too. I think I might get one and snow it up a bit for Frostgrave. It's worth it at that price.
ReplyDeleteTotally agreed. :)
DeleteI've spied the TT stuff a couple of times but hesitated due to the simple design, but seeing this and hearing that they are well cut will certainly make me give them a go.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely minded that the cutting and quality of the MDF is really important.
DeleteI had some great looking sci-fi pods from one company and the mdf just frayed on the edges during removal from sprues. Similalry, I have the KM phone booths and have only managed to cut one from the spure, the second is worse than the first.
Manufacturers whose stuff rates highly for me so far:
Sarissa
4Ground
Warbases (some cheap and cheerful stuff)
TTCombat (based on the bits I have so far)
Micro Arts
Having seen it in the flesh I concur it looks great and what a bargain at that price as well!
ReplyDeleteCheers Simon. :)
DeleteIt looks a simple enough design. Simple but nice.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely so; which is why I think it offers good value. :)
Delete£3.95?! Madness :) Lovely paintjob - it's turned out lovely for such a low price.
