Box Office Video

 Very pleased to report that another one of my modern buildings is finished, and it's one I've wanted for my table for ages. This is the Box Office Video from Corvus Games Terrain, again printed for me by my friend Dave. 

I don't watch anywhere near as much as I used to, but I love trashy horror and action movies. For years I actually did a review blog filled with 1980s direct to video weirdness. So the video store feels extremely right for my table.

The color scheme is, unsurprisingly, based on good ol' Blockbuster Video - God knows I raided their discount bins often as they went out of business. 


This building did come with a floor and isn't just a shell, and I do plan to eventually detail the interior - just not right now because I have too much else to tackle before June 7th. Crooked Dice offers STLs of a video store counter and shelves of VHS tapes that I'll ask Dave to print for me, and I'll resize some movie posters and print out at the copy shop to stick on the interior walls - probably THE TOXIC AVENGER, C.H.U.D., a few others. Things that would have been in heavy rotation among people like me in video stores in the 1980s.

  1. I'm enjoying all your buildings, and I'd love to see what you do with the interiors (but no rush, just a wish!) :)

    1. Thanks! Some of them, like the pizza shop, are probably never going to get interiors done. A lot of these 3D printed buildings are a little on the small side for that, and a bunch of these would need floors added to them.

      I think the MDF buildings are going to be where you see a lot more interior detailing. Good thing I've got a couple of those lined up for later this summer!
