2pm today the first three premium subscription buildings arrived in the UK warehouse, and at 4pm I had them in my hands to take home with me, so I'm going to have a look inside the boxes.
 |
Picked this up whilst I was there too, been waiting for this since it came to the BF UK HQ gaming club as a preview copy a couple of months ago |
 |
Got this there too. Talking to the BF guys, they think I am the first person in the world to get the premium buildings. They know I am the first person in Europe (who didn't go to Essen) to purchase a copy of Firefly. |
 |
The first of the three boxes is the Terraced House |
 |
Really well packaged, as were the other two, very reassuring |
 |
All of the parts laid out, ground floor, first floor, roof and lean to |
 |
The paint job here is up to the usual standard |
 |
Don't know if it is intentional, but there is a slight curve to the top of the ground floor. Doesn't affect the looks, but means there is a slight rock to the top floor |
 |
Corner shop is in a slightly bigger building again |
 |
And well packaged again |
 |
Paint job on this one was very disappointing. The walls are terrible, the rest of it is fine, but it just seems the paint is too watered down. I suspect I will just paint another coat over the top, as the building itself is excellent. |
 |
All three floors again |
 |
Rear view |
 |
Side view |
 |
The biggest box of them all, the Bastogne Church, and the longest awaited |
 |
Back of the box |
 |
Contents once again well packaged and protected |
 |
Paint job is better on this than the pictures sent out by John-Paul, and the Corner Shop |
 |
All three parts |
 |
The silver paint on the roof is a bit patchy |
 |
But the rest of it looks alright |
Sweet, wish i had gone for the subscription now :)
ReplyDeleteVery disappointing paint job. Given the time between the ad and the actual release, I find that unacceptable, especially considering the price tag.
ReplyDeleteGood to have a review. Looking forward to mine arriving (will review on 50mmgameroom.blogspot.co.nz). Ours in NZ are a bit behind you guys.
