RPE Wooden Walls Kickstarter. Open The Box!


I took an £105 punt on RPE's kickstarter.  

OK, it took a while longer than expected, but that's hardly unusual!

I get the impression that I was the only one not to order the castle walls!


Very well packaged, they could have sent bone 
china!

Here's my pledge: 






Hamlet -£40.00.  This was a limited number early backer deal.  Excellent value!

Mixture of ply rather than MDF and cardstock.

  • 70150 Small Church.  Plus added gravestones and a handy "how to". 
  • 70110 Blacksmiths
  • 70130A Medium Building A (brick and wood skin) (x2)
  • 70130B Medium Building B (brick skin)
  • 70120 Cruck house (I got a second one of these for £10) 




House, blacksmiths and village well and you've yer centre.


Wheels - why so many extra wheels?  Should be able to make some separate pan scourer roofs, one proper, the other ruined/burnt.  Reminds me of the semi fortified farm houses you'll find on the Welsh/Scottish borders.  Add the stables and will make a nice manor house opposite the church.



Extra doors nice touch, but window detail like shutters?







The Cruck houses were often thatched, calls out for a Proper Job!  This picture, add the freebe hovel and scour pad thatch.  NB, I prime with white gesso, which leaves the perfect chalky surface if you put on thin wash.  Hard as nails is a perfect product for roughing walls as well as all basing.



Stable £7.00


Village Well £7.00  This looks too big in the raw, maybe the first one I put together.



Stone Bridge extension piece  £5.00   Stone + Wooden Bridge extension £5.00
Stone + Wooden Bridge £10.00




Wizard's Tower /Watchtower £18.00  Not sure how to do this as it's going to be tall!  Black card inside?  Just to offset yer average white robed tenant.




I got a Hovel!  Useful little building.  Outhouse, workshop, ruin.
