At ORIGINS in 2019 there was a Dealer selling MDF buildings from a company called TT Combat. They had a wide variety of buildings in 28mm; Sci-Fi, Modern, Fantasy and Wild West. "Very cool," I thought. "I'll have to pick some of those up." I don't know why I do that. I call it my "Snooze -Lose" syndrome. And it strikes me all the time. I see something I want, don't buy it. Then it's gone. Which happened here. I didn't pick them up right away, waited and then when I went back they were gone. *Sigh*
BUT, as luck would have it, my friend Mike was going to GenCon a month later. I did a little email search, confirmed that the same Dealer would be there with the TT Combat buildings I wanted. Mike was kind enough to get a list from me and pick some up. They sat for a bit, but with COVID idling my employer I now have time......
The building are very straight forward builds. At least the single story ones are. These are older buildings so there isn't any instructions online. But the pictures on the website are good guides. I'm about to begin a 2-story Doctor's office and that might be a little tricky. (Details when they happen....
Something I find to be really neat is that (so far) all the buildings have some sort of interior items. Boxes, shelves, counters...TT Combat used the empty spaces on the MDF sheets to flesh out your buildings. I think that's pretty kewl.
I didn't prime the buildings before I painted them. Being MDF they did soak up the paint a little, but I liked the kinda rustic look. I did however apply a second or third coat to the corners where you could see the dark edge of an adjoining wall (where the two pieces fit together).
The price per building I think was very reasonable too. The single story buildings were $5-6 and the 2 story ones were $10.
So without further ado, I present the beginnings of my Wild West town. The miniatures shown are those for the Blackwater Gulch game....
