KenR : A Nice Safe Bank Job - 20 points

In between painting Italian Allied Legion and waiting for bases to dry I have been chipping away at another building for my 28mm Sweeney Project. A essential piece of terrain for any Cops and Robbers setting is a bank, it appears in so many scenarios.

The kit is made from printed heavy card and is a real trial to put together, each piece needs cutting out with a craft knife and the edges painted, the door for example is 7 layers thick.

Points wise I think its around 20 using the cube calculation, the building is 11" long, 3" wide and 8" high. After working on this for 8 weeks this is definitely the hardest 20 points I've ever earned 😁

The building is for an O Gauge Railway and comes in whats called half relief, I definitely think gamers have a lot to learn from Railway modelling when it comes to terrain.

So I'm off to finish my Legion, you slaaaaags 😎

  3. Those are stunning Ken. I have some of these in resin, but the cost and relative simplicity of these are very attractive.

  6. Your bank is 264 cubic inches . A terrain cube is 216 cubic inches . Yiur bank is worth 1.22 terrain cubes . 20x1.22 = 24.2 - so nice round up is 25 points .
