At what point can I declare that I've built a shanty-town?

Got another cool Plast Craft kit done last night, this time out; The Caravan!

This is actually a really big set and looks pretty impressive once it's all done.  The main 'building' is a trailer with a small outbuilding shabbily bolted onto the back of it.

The set also includes this very cool looking set of gas pumps.

When I've built these kits in the past I've tried to share some insight into whether they were easy or difficult to build but this time I'm a bit in the dark about that.  I really struggled with this one but to be fair once I had completed the whole thing I found a midpoint structural support laying on my desk that I had completely missed putting in in the early stages of construction.  So was it difficult; yes.  Was it my own fault it was difficult; also yes.

Some more scatter terrain

I got two more sets of the Color-ed scenery from Plast Craft Games assembled/done last night while watching TV.

These are both smaller sets meant to supplement the larger building kits and break up the table a bit.  The three main features I have to call out about the Plast Craft sets are:
1.  They're inexpensive
2.  They're easy to put together
3.  They seem pretty durable
All in all I highly recommend this stuff!

First up is the Rusted Barricades from their Post-Apocalypse collection.

I REALLY like these!  They were less than 10 minutes work to assemble and they are tabletop ready.  I'm considering getting a second set as I think they will be great for framing in areas or perhaps even building a whole junkyard (or ghetto Gorka Morka fort?).

Next is the Railway Prop set for Malifaux.

Unfortunately this is going to be the first set I have to say I'm not too impressed with.  Unlike the Rusted Barricades the wooden barricades that come in this set are only printed on one side, so from the back they are flat grey and untextured.  I also had some minor assembly issues that honestly wouldn't be a deal breaker for me but given that part of the appeal (for my anyway) with this stuff is how fast and easy it is to use I'm not sure that I'm signing up for extra assembly work.

All in all I'm still very happy with my purchases.  Each of these sets was under $20 Canadian and I'm sure they'll get used in dozens of games.  I've got a bunch more building kits to do so we'll see what's next!

I wonder if everything in there tastes like chicken?

I finally got my first building from Plast Craft Games assembled last night and now I'm wondering what the hold up was.

It took me about 45 minutes to build the Diner and it was already coloured so once it was assembled it was done!

I first discovered Plast Craft Games when they started doing licensed Malifaux scenery (some of that coming soon) but they also have this great small Post-Apocalypse line that looks perfect for Fallout themed games like This Is Not A Test.

I'm hoping to get a few more of these done this week but I have a busy week with work and I still have about 20 miniatures I need to get painted for this weekend....so we'll see what happens.
