I'm so excited to show you Archaica Schola Wargaming a new 28mm MDF kit from Antenocitis Workshop!
This is the stock kit plus the upgrade pack with a few additional decals added but otherwise straight out of the box. No painting or weathering was done. I expect I'll dirty up the outside of it eventually but I'm trying to decide where it fits into my building group.
I've assigned it for the moment to the Undertown.. which is where all real wargames shops reside... but the building looks a little upscale for the neighborhood so it may be relocated to Midtown or the Mall... I'll probably do weathering at that point to make it blend better.
I added LED light to the ground floor but left the upper level without illumination while I think of an unobtrusive way to accomplish that.
The kit is pretty spectacular and features a large clear acrylic roof so you can see the game room while playing... of course that is waaaaay tooo much sun for your average gamer to endure so I think it'll be an evening hotspot and mostly empty by the light of day.
Still... it does a great job of advertising that the buildings have live spaces inside.... which is awesome!
I ended up gluing in the game tables and the advertising walls instead of magnetizing them this time because they are easy to maneuver models around or on. There are no resin parts in this kit and everything is MDF or clear acrylic.
The cute anime girl is from a Guilty Crown radio control car decal set. I also got a girl in a wheelchair to mark a handicap parking space and some block text for another outside wall from the same sheet. Everything else comes with the kit.
Stocked snack shelves of snacks, hobby supplies, paints and washes, and an assortment of tabletop miniature game products as well as three display cases for painted miniatures... lots of fun to be had in here!
This place will probably serve as the group hangout for the RPG I'm brewing up around the Kingdom Death: Death High mini line... I'm thinking a kind of Sci-Fi Knights of the Dinner Table meets Haganai and Angel Beats feel with a group of friends who rotate through playing different RPGs as well as dealing with life in a "Sci-Fi Supernatural Martial Arts Comedy" setting. Might be fun... might be a mess... we'll see!
