I think that the standard wild west building template is perfect for playability - flat roof, external stairs, balcony - that's what I need more of.<br /><br />I quite fancy an elevated platform of some kind at some point too. I'm playing with some ideas for another scratchbuild- let's see what happens!axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-54289469385942147022017-11-08T08:35:05.771+00:002017-11-08T08:35:05.771+00:00Another solid addition.
The addition of the balco...Another solid addition.<br /><br />The addition of the balcony is smart, turning the piece from a line of sight blocker into something more interactive. It also makes it more visually interesting, while also adding a useful and visually attractive raised tier for taking the occasional group photo with. Good move.<br /><br />I'm a fan of naming my terrain sets. It sounds slightly daft, but they each develop their own character that way, and become recognisable places to my gaming group.<br />For associated reasons I think that you are wise to ditch "Helsreach" as a title (but not as an inspiration) and call it something unique.<br /><br />With a current veer back towards space western gaming I'm looking at refurbishing and expanding Standard Falls soon. I will be plundering Black Dust Gulch for ideas and inspiration.cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-89117841899070276412017-11-07T19:50:51.173+00:002017-11-07T19:50:51.173+00:00I'm really pleased you like it Suber.
