I often skim through the offerings on eBay but a true bargain is sadly a rarity. That's not to say there aren't some wonderful things to find on this auction site, but it's rare when you feel like you've really bagged a proper bargain. Last week must have just been my lucky day because I came across a listing selling an unopened 4ground North-West European Farm Complex.
This set includes 5 buildings, a lean-to outbuilding and a set of walls to enclose the farmyard. I was lucky enough to get this for just a little over half price, all I needed to add was the time to building the kits inside. As it was I made very short work of the buildings getting the whole lot assembled over two evenings. Of course, these can all be used individually or rearranged in any order so they will prove a very versatile collection of buildings. They have already proved their value in a solo Chain of Command game that I have recently played. A full BatRep with photo's featuring the Farm will be posted soon!
That's a very good buy for half price!
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed.
DeleteLooks great Lee and what a bargain as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd the money I saved can be spent on more buildings... not sure my wife would approve of my money saving tactics but...
DeleteWow! I love the look of this set. well done...and you said it took only two evenings.
ReplyDeleteOnce you've done one they become increasingly easy to build, and the instructions are very clear which also helps.
DeleteNice score - that will come in handy, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteIt's already seen action...although the write up for that game may take a while to put together (5 pages of scribbled notes to decipher!)
DeleteExcellent bargain
ReplyDeleteOh Yes, one for the record books :)
DeleteGreat looking kits, and very versatile as you mention. Did you touch up the paint at all?
ReplyDeleteApart from a bit where I damaged a corner I didn't feel they needed it.
DeleteEven better then! Pre-paints that one can live with are a bit more rare than they should be.
DeleteI do like those 4Ground kits... I picked up a few more a few months ago in one of their sales..
ReplyDeleteThey have come a long way from the first models they did. Quite amazed at the attention to detail.
DeleteVery nice and a versatile set of terrain to boot - a great bargain purchase.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ross
I have since bought a Stables building which compliments the set nicely.
