I recently got my hands on some new pre-painted MDF terrain for my collection. After looking into a few companies and options, I picked up a kit from 4Ground Publishing. For my first go, I selected Halgar's Blacksmith set.
I ordered my kit from the good folks over at Badger Games, with whom I've always had good dealings.
The kit comes in a nice cardboard box, keeping it well protected during shipping. Enclosed are a nice detailed set of instructions for assembly.
Only a handful of basic tools were needed for assembly, as everything came out of the sprues readily.
- Some glue (I found PVA to be a good choice)
- Files/sandpaper for some fine tuning and fitting
- Hobby / X-acto knife
- A few clamps and rubber-bands to help hold pieces while drying
I assembled the kit over in a few set-down sessions over a couple of evenings in front of the TV. I was able to put the kit together in about four to five hours, although a few distractions certainly interrupted my building from time to time. Overall, the model was not exceptionally difficult to assemble, thanks to the step-by-step directions included.
Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos of the build process, but here are some of the completed model.
