Last month, my wife wanted to buy me some terrain, and we were specifically looking at Black Site Studios' prepainted MDF buildings. They'd announced a trailer park, which seemed like a lot of fun, and we decided on adding a couple extra pieces as well - namely, a bingo hall and some dumpsters for scatter terrain.
Everything arrived the other day - an 8 1/2 lb (3.8 kg) box! And not a moment too soon; my neighbor's seven year old son is Mr. Popularity, so all the kids in our apartment complex gather at our unit to play, and my priming box almost became a target for Super Soaker practice last week. Having things prepainted is going to be a godsend I think.
I assembled the dumpsters last night to give myself some relaxation post a very long and stressful work week, and it was exactly what the doctor ordered. The kit gives you two dumpsters, each comprised of 10 parts - base, four sides, a hinged lid, two side handles and a pair of casters underneath. Everything fit together beautifully, took glue just fine, and the final construction is really sturdy. The hinged lid works perfectly, and as a bonus, a figure on a 25mm round base can comfortably be placed standing inside the dumpster.

I'm hoping to spend this weekend getting the Bingo Hall assembled, because I think that will be a very fun addition to my wargaming tables.
Oh, really great terrain !
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThose dumpsters look great, especially as you can actually plonk a fig inside without any problems. Looking forward to seeing the Bingo Hall being assembled. It sounds a bit more complicated than the dumpsters. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely shaping up to be more complicated than the dumpsters! The walls don't plug into the floor in the firm sort of way I've come to expect from Sarissa Precision; there's pegs to line up where the wall and floor are supposed to align, but it doesn't hold the wall up at all. So I've got it on my table right now with spray cans and mason jars pressed around it so the walls stay perpendicular while the glue dries.
Deletethese are gonna be great to see built and done.
ReplyDeletei visited Black Site Studios site, and have to say already planning on finishing up my wild west terrain collection with some of their products.
so thank you for sharing their stuff, i wouldn't of known of them.
My pleasure! I wouldn't have known about Atomic Laser Designs terrain without you so I'm happy to share what I know about as well.
