YAY I’m back! Long story, don’t ask. All you need to know
is that it’s currently a very busy time for me!
BACK TO THE BLOG!
So a while back I mentioned my idea for a Japanese slum
<
see post here>. In order to make it I would need buildings. Now let’s
get a little hypothetical here, assuming the Yu Jing want to incorporate the
Japanese, but also have them as second class citizens, they would obviously
have them live in housing estates, thus the buildings would be very plain,
boring and easy to construct. But as it’s a slum, it would get covered in
graffiti that wasn’t being cleaned up, and would probably be next to something
industrial because land would be cheap.
And to add in another fact I would need to store it
without my girlfriend killing me for taking up too much space. I would need to have
something that is plain, but could be spruced up with graffiti/posters, and
also with a massive storage capability.
And then came
Bandau with these simple and cheap looking
buildings (for Infinity), that could stack and be stored inside one another!
WIN!!! So I waited till I could get a good deal, for which my friend
Sync heard
about from
Slave to Painting, and I bought it. And the other night I finally
had time to build it.
Now I won’t give a review because Sync has done that
rather well and our views on the product are very similar (
here). But here are
some pictures anyway!!!

And there's the good old Kempetai
Cypher hasn't been preforming well recently so no air time for him!!! |

Thinking of putting a soccer pitch in... |
So yeah, kind of simple, doors are in funny locations
(especially when stacking), but they are pretty good. My main issue is that
larger bases cannot get up the stairs at all! And my main point to improve this
product is that they should have put the door on the front side (ie where you
can see straight up the stairs); would have made more sense while stacking.
Anywho, along with the buildings, I got the Bandau Advertising
Panels, one of each pack! And for modularity I decided to assemble them with 3
corners, 3 straights and 6 individual panels. These panels also clip onto the
buildings or can be used as fences. And with the bits with holes tempted to
have the ‘muddy window’ house rule to prevent shooting through them when not
next to them.
I like them, simple like the rest of the Bandau terrain
system, but very functional.
So lets now see what it all looks like, because I know that's more interesting that this text! Oh FYI I got 4 sets of those buildings!!!

Notice the use of the Panels on the buildings themselves, either blocking or gnerating
interesting sniper spots! |
|
Don't forget the AT-43 shipping containers!!! |
So I definatly need some terrain for the road, maybe just
1 truck, and some smaller scatter terrain to minimise these massive open spaces
(like some of the early
Warsenal stuff, or even their new
ITS pack).
And now the important point…can I store it?
Yeah I got this
Cheers!
