Continuing with Antenociti's Workshop recent releases with
Suburban Office 2 and the Suburban Office 2
Upgrade Pack. With
Scout Celenia for scale from Raging Heroes.
Here we envision Scout Celenia as a Vampire Hunter in a Sci-Fi future setting.
The Suburban Office 2 has a Sake Shop on the top floor! This is gonna work out great given how many times I run the "Rescue and/or Steal the booze" scenario.
As with all of Antenociti's Workshops new building offerings this is pre-painted MDF using MDF, clear or translucent acrylic and photo print graphics.
The roof features a detachable, multi-position sign and an aircon unit that doubles as a handle for removing the roof to access the gloriously detailed interior.
As you can see the roof can be removed while leaving the rooftop sign in place. The sign can be removed for storage or repositioned to any of the double layer MDF tabs on the roof.
The countertop is in the center of the model leaving a lot of space for cramming in a thirsty squad. I elected to glue the counter in place but there is no downside to leaving it free and completely removable... it could then be used as an outdoor sake kiosk! Ooops! clever... belated... thought...
While the individual shop doors are constructed with etched acrylic the other doorways and windows are open.
With the upgrade pack all of the interior walls are detailed otherwise the buildings are empty shells with a bit more space to fill with troops.
The first floor is occupied by a clothing shop.
The shop is complete with sales counter and two fitting rooms each with mirror and advertisements.
The walls are covered with goods on offer or advertisements.
There is a small learning curve making sure that each part is dry-fitted in the correct spot. They pop off the sprue easily with the aid of a box cutter or similar. A bit of light sanding on the non visible surfaces really makes the bits go together more easily. This time I succeeded in making the doors freely operable... when I built the Neo-Tiki I failed to sand the bottom of the doors and to make sure that they operated freely... as a result they open under some duress and will likely damage the floor eventually... fortunately building them right isn't hard... it just requires a bit of adjustment before they are glued in solid.
The stairs are functional... which is super nice!
I left a large space available for graffiti so more fun tinkering to come!
Back to the desk!
