15mm 4Ground Dutch Houses


Not being content with the 25mm version's of 4Ground's great looking Dutch Houses, again at Salute I purchased their 15mm versions of the same buildings.


I'd like to say they were easier to put together than their 25mm conterparts, which they were, although they were a little more fiddly, but that's most probably due to my fat sausage fingers!


I only bought five of the buildings because that's all they had left and I do already have loads of other makes to make a massisve town.


You know I said they were fiddly? Well that's my skin stuck on the decorative brickwork on the building on the right!!Nothing that a brush of paint or ink will cover over of course.......whenever I get round to it????


I've left the insides plain for the moment, I did toy with the idea of painting the inside white or grey, just to tone down the stark effect, when the roofs are on you don't really notice the insides so I will probably leave them as they are.



As I bought 2 sets of buildings twice, (the blue and green buildings) I changed the colour of their roofs, just to make them look a little different, which I think worked very well.

28mm 4Ground Dutch Houses



All's been very quiet painting wise at Cassa Rousell over the summer.
I, believe it or not have stacks still to paint, but to be honest just couldn't be arsed. I do think 
the Painting Challenge does have a part to play here.
Anyway, as painting was out of the question I thought I'd get some buildings made up.
The 4 buildings are all from 4Grounds World at War series, but I'll be using them for the earlier
Donnybrook period.


I was quite impressed with them to be honest, they fitted together very well and took roughly 5 hours work to complete each one.


This is Dutch House 1


You buy it with only 1 floor


But I bought extension's for the buildings.


3 Foundry figures for scale


Dutch House 2


This is my favourite building


Rear view


Dutch House 2 as you buy it with just the 1 upper floor




Dutch House 3 & another Dutch House number 2


I did have 1 slight problem, 2 of the packs didn't have enough roof tiles, I called the 
guys at 4Ground and explained my annoying problem.


Three days later, I received a parcel in the post. containing 8 roof sheets!!!
So I swapped the roof colour of my second Dutch house 2 to a Blue roof.  



out the back 


Well worth every penny spent!!!!

Now what shall I do????

More building I've had for far too long and not got around to paint, until now that is.....These are sold by Magister Militum in the UK and are made by JR buildings. They do sell a large collection of the Italian Renaissance buildings but boy are they expensive!!!!! But unfortunately for me I need to buy a few more and add them to my collection! Dammit!!!!!!
These are to go with my large 15mm Renaissance army that have not had a game for 7 years. I'll have to get a few pics of them taken as well me thinks!!
