I have made a couple of Crescent Root purchases over the last three or four years and, being a huge fan of what I have received in the past, decided to treat myself to some of their 15mm industrial buildings. As with the previous two purchases, I was extremely pleased with what arrived a couple of weeks ago. Here they are, split across two arrangements:
The buildings are all mdf again, apart from the chimneys, and I really like the way they have been put together with texturing that I haven't often seen on other mdf terrain:
I purchased the set of ramps to provide a bit more variety. These are separate so the buildings can be positioned on top or alongside:
The walls are also very nice:
Not particularly cheap when compared with other mdf terrain, but the quality is definitely there and they arrive ready to put on the table. I just need to complete a few WWII 15mm armies to go with them now, although many of the pieces wouldn't look too out of place in a Napoleonic game, especially the Series 3 pieces.
Speaking of WWII, I'm just finishing off the last of the first dozen Royal Navy WWII ships and hope to have them ready for a few photos by the end of the week; a welcome break from Republican Romans.
Splendid buildings and walls, they look real and superb!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, I'm really looking forward to getting a a few games in with them.
DeleteThese are seriously nice looking buildings Lawrence - I can fully understand the attraction of this range!
ReplyDeleteI'm very pleased with them Keith, and I didn't mind paying that bit extra to have them arrive ready-made.
DeleteNever heard of this product before but the results are superb. Do these buildings arrive pre-painted? If not, that is some seriously impressive brick work you did. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI should have made that clearer Jonathan. Yes, fully pre-painted and assembled, which is what made them all the more attractive to me. I have dozens of unpainted resin buildings which I just don't seem to have the time to get to as yet, so it was nice to purchase some ready-made terrain for a change.
DeleteGreat looking buildings, they don't look mdf at all!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, I think that is one of the main attractions for me. Not that I have anything against mdf, but you can see the joins on some of them and I wanted something that would sit comfortably alongside the resin buildings I have.
DeleteThose are superb, Lawrence. Do they do anything in 25 mm? :-)
ReplyDeleteThey do Peter, but it tends to come and go. At the moment it looks like mainly Mediterranean and industrial, but the range gets revised every year or so. Here is the url if you're interested: https://crescent-root.com/pages/Product/28mm/28mm.html
DeleteGreat stuff Lawrence, but now you are about to enter that rabbit hole that is WWII 15mm.
ReplyDeleteIt has been calling me for a while Mark and I have Russians, Germans and British in the pile. I need to do some to justify the expense of the terrain.
