A short post on two buildings I quickly painted up for possible use in some games this coming weekend. They are both, I believe, fairly old kits and so fit in with the old-school vibe of some of my armies.

Most excellent. It does fit the vibe.

Very nice buildings. Thanks for sharing. But surely Old School buildings are made from cereal boxes?

#robert piepenbrink – my old-school buildings to go with my SSMs are made from cereal boxes and foamboard. Okay, foamboard isn't perhaps REALLY old-school, but it's so handy.

Both excellent points, Billy--and nice-looking buildings. I'm sure Grant, Young and Vietmeyer would have used foamcore if they'd had it: cheap and sturdy pretty well defines Old School stylistically.
