The kit is the usual great value from TTCombat in my humble opinion (£19.95 GBP shipped to the UK, ordering via Ebay or the TTCombat site), and was the first larger kit for which I used my new technique for painting MDF kits: basically I paint parts together while still on the sprue where they are grouped with parts to be painted the same colour. The painting is done with 4 inch sponge mini rollers and Vallejo paint. The paint this way seems to work out cheaper than using up potentially multiple cans of spray, and I am happy with the texture, plus touch up colour matching is made easier!
The build time was hard to calculate as it was made over a few sessions, but I would say around two hours, most of which was spent on the ticket office and the overhang on which the theatre sign and movie line-up sits. There was a certain amount of fiddly construction there as parts had to be lined up to a couple of planes while trying to slot everything together.
The footprint of the base is approximately 12 inches by 8 inches, while the main building is an approximate cube, 8 inches wide, deep and high. The overhang is around 3 3/4 inches high. Pulp City figures and a Hasslefree Zombie are used for scale reference. Wildman (standing on the overhang) is on a 40 mm base, showing the overhang can accommodate 40 mm bases.
All in all a recommended kit, and I think it offers great value. Thus far, I have not been dissatisfied with any TTCombat kit I have picked up.
COOL!
ReplyDeleteIt should get some game time soon I reckon. :)
DeleteThat does look like a great kit Pulpcitizen, and your shot with the models really helps to bring its scale into perspective. Great paintjob on it too :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Blaxkleric. :)
DeleteI am pretty pleased with how it turned out. :)
I can't believe the price on that, fabulous value. Seeing what you have done with yours has definitely but this on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteI agree re: the price point Michael - I think it is exceptional. :)
DeleteIf you pick this kit up, I think you wouldn't regret it. :)
Wow that looks awesome mate. Cracking looking building and great for block LOS. Plenty of levels to game on to. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.
ReplyDeleteCheers mate. :)
DeleteHopefully will be useful for games, especially with the multiple surface levels. :)
Now that's a nice building and a very nice paint job. Good work, Pulpcitizen. Need to add this to my wish list, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jez. :)
DeleteA totally recommended kit. :)
A nice center piece, a beautiful kit and great paintjob.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wouter. :)
DeleteI am pleased with how it turned out. :)
What a great addition. It will be great to play. I love the art deco type look to it. Well done sir.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bullcher. :)
DeleteIt certainly has some obvious utility with the stepped heights it offers as vantage points, as well as its footprint for the table. :)
OH! There goes my money again! Nicely done Pulp!
ReplyDeleteCheers Terry, and I think it is a worthwhile investment if you pick one up. :)
DeleteVery nice piece. And furthermore this piece has much much more potential ... graffiti on the wall, a dead employee in the ticket booth :)
ReplyDeleteThanks FourEyedMonster. :)
DeleteTotally agree that the building could be enhanced with some nice little touches - I will leave that to more accomplished modellers. :)
Nicely done, that's a very impressive building!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. It has already made the table for its first game outing, so that has been pleasing. :)
