This is not a review, per se, but I recently got the chance to put together some 4-Ground stuff for a friend, and I just thought I'd share its prettiness.
The kits are incredibly well designed and flawlessly cut in every case: just an absolute joy to experience!
I'll let the photos do the talking, really, but this is what it boils down to: (1) the kits are absolutely brilliant; (2) some of the instructions could be a tiny bit clearer. That is all.
15mm Buildings:
These buildings both have two terraced premises with three floors each (incl. the attic), all of which can take troops. |
Gorgeous. |
...and then the other lovely building...
Rather impressively, this kit (but not t'other) comes with posters and signage in German and French. Genius. |
15mm Fences and Walls (~1.5m of each):
These are gorgeous. Fragile, yet surprisingly sturdy. |
These are really solid...and even have chunks which can be removed! |
28mm 'Chicago Way' Shotgun House:
This was astonishingly good fun to put together...and a lot bigger than I had anticipated.
I had the M3 Lee nearby. For scale. |
This kit has five or six different colours, and goes together like a dream. |
'Shotgun Houses' were notable for their all in-line doorways. |
Even Mrs Drax appreciated this model - I reckon it was her Chicago South-Side heritage.
So there you go. Just brilliant.

I do like 4Ground's stuff and the pre-painting is a real bonus, but their prices are just too much for my gaming budget.
ReplyDeleteBut that Lee.... O_o so cool!
Oh god, no - not that I have my own scenery any more, but I could never afford this stuff!
DeleteAnd in terms of the Lee..?
Tune in next week, my friend.
