A couple more odds and ends have arrived at Casa de Adcock over the past few days.
Miniature Building Authority had a spring sale going, so I ordered some more scatter bits, including a pair of end-pieces for oil-drum-and-tire barricade walls, of which I've got a few painted up already. I'm waiting for their wall pieces to come back in stock so I can buy more - I'd like to ultimately be able to enclose a building or two in barricade "fences" if I can.
I also placed an order with Things From The Basement - I needed a couple large, irregular terrain bases, as well as some large MDF rounds that will be turned into markers for smoke grenades. These A) aren't very exciting to look at, and B) aren't enough to justify the shipping costs, so a set of brick stacks and a shipping container-turned-office slipped into my cart.
I think the shipping container office I want to eventually incorporate into a larger build - I'm envisioning a fenced-in junkyard or mechanic's yard, maybe with a garage, with the shipping container as the yard's "business office." Something a bit shady and sketchy, like they're dealing in stolen cars or something like that. I think that would be a fun project to add to my terrain collection. Things From The Basement has a garage kit in their "Industrial" line that might be perfect - something to think about for my next purchase.

Isn't it great when these things drop in the post.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is Ray!
DeleteI think the MBA pieces are the Acheson Creations resin they're carrying. Great stuff! I have found Things from the Basement's MDF just a tad too thin. What's been your experience with their kits? By the way, my Safari browser won't let me comment on your blog. I have to sign into Google Chrome...haha. - Mike Demana (Lead Legionaries)
ReplyDeleteHi Mike! That's funny - sometimes Blogger won't let me compose posts on anything except Chrome. Very weird.
DeleteI think these are Acheson pieces - the tire barricades certainly are.
This is my first kit from Things From The Basement, and just on first examination, I agree that the MDF is much thinner than I'm used to. We'll see how it builds up. It looks like they're a sponsor or at least supportive on social media of the event I'll be at in June; no idea if they'll have a presence there or not.
Agree, great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks MIchal!
