These new customizable scenery kits are perfect for any sci-fi or near-future settings, and even fantasy or steampunk games. The kit can be assembled in various ways, limited only by your imagination. Add additional Gothic City Building kits together for an even larger or taller building.
The Gothic City Building set comes with 19 wall sections, a door, and several accessories to decorate your building - including gargoyles, torches and lanterns.
I bought this from my FLGS last year. It is actually pretty cool. It snaps to from a front and back, both of which have different textures. It is fairly stable without the use of glue, standing up to being bumped in wargaming. It is also rather large, forming end-to-end about 1m (3ft) of terrain. The window pieces are really cool and very sturdy, you will not knock out the frames. It comes with several (4?) sprues of nibbly-fiddlies--gargoyles, torches, sconces, etc. The gargoyles are my fave, they are quite detailed.
Its limitations are that is can only be put together in certain directions, making interesting shapes impossible. There are no angle walls here. It also only has one set of doors, so you have a GIANT cathedral. This is the most disapointing feature to me. It also only has 4 varient walls (two with different printing on each side) so it does get repetitive.
I have not painted my set yet, but would reccomend airbrushing, or at the very least using slightly watered-down acrylic with a sponge brush to avoid streaks. This product will also take chalks and washes well, I'd suspect.
