Hello TMP,
back in Novemember last year I got my KS from Things From the Basement for the "farms of Gettysburg" MDF kits. Like all good wargamers, I went ALL IN and got them all (in 15mm), and then let the kits sit in the back of the hobby room all lonely and forgotten for a few months. The fate of most KS's I reckon.
So here we are in March and I finally put some together. I started with the Slyder House and Barn.
The Kits are VERY nice. And it's pretty cool that with only 'meh' effort one can get a nice looking building. It's also kinda cool that since the kits are based on actual buildings you can google image search and see the real thing. Albeit now with non historical aspects like rain gutters and air conditioners.
Modifications I made:
I put some dark blue card on the inside of the windows just so that they don't look inside toward nothing.
I also added some HO scale weathered gray shingles that I bought onto the roofs, just because I like the look of it.
This is not necessary to do.
I really recommend them to anyone who is looking at them. Next time I am in the market for some MDF buildings I'm gonna check out Things from the Basement first. might be awhile though since I still have the rest of the KS to do.
you can see a few more pics and read my witty commentary here on the blog if you're so minded:
