The final set of buildings from The Lodestone Kisckstarteer includes this "Extended 2 Storey House".
The hanging sign is also magnetic, and will fit several different buildings.
I suitable image will eventually be added to the sign.
Going back to the unboxing of this building.
Two medium basic boxes and an extension box., plus skins.
Unpacked...
Skins added to the ground floor.
Fully assembled without any added paint or shutters.
Note the "supports" for the overhanging 2nd storey.
Other side of the building, no paint applied yet.
Final item of the Village KS package.
Opening the box... hmm, what's the rolled up red item?
Unboxed - to the right is an unrelated set of two variant skins for other buildings.
As usual assembly is a snap - literally!
Assembled; this irem uses a special archway box for assembly. The applications for a fortress or castle seem obvious.
Paint applied to the woodwork.
I have one criticism of this item... no door or windows?
As for the red rolled up item... leather with brass snaps, which could be put together a couple of different ways. I was baffled about its purpose for a long time, and just now as I am writing this, it occurred to me - a dice tray (for rolling)?
A nice note from The Lodestone team.
The parts list...
All nine buildings of the Village set, painted. I (later) hit the completed buildings with a heavy coat of satin acrylic varnish for protection.
Just add inhabitants,
opposing armies,
or adventurers and foes!
The Lodestone team says they are working on new ideas for their next Kickstarter, and a webstore. I look forward to seeing the concepts and products they come up with!
This is a very handsome village, Peter! A great addition to your table.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jon. I am very pleased with them right out of the box, and adding the shutters and paint, which was really quite easy to do, really made them pop!
ReplyDeleteYou ought to be very pleased. Great stuff!
DeleteWow, lovely buildings Peter, they look great!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them, Phil.
DeleteClever and good-looking kits which look very effective when all together.
ReplyDeleteExactly,Peter!
DeleteVery nice collection
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gary!
DeleteThat's a lovely-looking village there Peter, and the dice tray is a nice bonus. I must admit I have been a bit sceptical about their use in the past but it is a much better alternative than hunting around on the floor when the dice roll of the table as usually happens a few times each game.
ReplyDeleteI must confess to never having used a dice tray, but I certainly have searched for dice on the floor! :-)
DeleteI have yet to use a dice tray, but have certainly searched for dice that have rolled off of the table and onto the floor!
DeleteGreat looking town! I quite like the archway, difficult to justify windows on it? Nice gift too,dice or cakes?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
The archway looks goo, but it would seem that there should be some way to access the upper portions?
DeleteGreat looking buildings - can't wait to see how you paint up the sign on the inn - "Slaughtered Lamb" maybe? :)
ReplyDelete"The Copper Dragon" is the working title of the Pub... from an old D&D campaign setting.
DeleteA great looking set of buildings and a clever concept. They look especially good as village.
ReplyDeleteThanks; I agree that they look especially good as a collection/set/village.
