Has anyone done a comparison of Finger & Toe buildings with Whitewash City? Size, color, ease of construction? I'm not certain I have seen these in any AAR's. Thanks |

Whitewash City is done in what might be called a 'drawn' style. They look good, they are easy to put together, there is astonishing variety (a whole town! Plus tent-frame buildings too). Plus you get black and white versions, plus you get base maps (so you can see what's inside, and even pick up the building and move around 'inside' (either leaving the base in place and pulling the building, or removing guys who go inside off to the base, set up off on the side. Size is NOT Heroic, closer to 25mm than 28mm, but that's okay, there is room and you can fit more on the table that way. They look fine with most cowboy figures (and just call the oversized figures Hoss!)… Finger and Toe looks to be shooting for closer to photorealistic, which may or may not work for you (think about those paper figures you see that use Poser or other 3D modeling program… while they CAN look good, they don't always succeed). I look forward to seeing them developed, but I don't use any myself at the moment, because all my other buildings would clash with that style.And while he's got variety, Hotz does more (AFAIK). I THINK Hotz wins on ease of construction, but both are simple construction. Hotz has showpieces on his WWC website, I don't recall seeing any big setup for Finger and Toe. Best wishes to both manufacturers, more buildings is more good! |

Thanks for the input. I have about a dozen or so WWC buildings put together and agree that they are simple to construct. And I can have a whole town for $80 USD or so. I was not sure if I wanted to venture in to Finger and Toe because, as you said, they may clash. For $1 USD per model, perhaps one day I will try one. |
