Two More Western Buildings

 Happy New Year!  To start off 2024, here are a couple of buildings to expand my Old West gaming town.

First up is the Renedra Ramshackle House.  I didn't know this existed until I saw it on the shelf at The Sentry Box in Calgary.  I already have several buildings from this series, a collaboration between Perry Miniatures and Renedra, so it fits in with my current collection quite nicely.  

I assembled the roof to be removable so that figures can be placed inside.  This building comes with a floor, unlike the other buildings in the series.  Other than the floor, I chose not to decorate the building interior.

The house is slightly undersized compared to 28mm miniatures, especially when bases are considered.

Here are all five of my Renedra/Perry Miniatures buildings, including the ramshackle barn, store, ramshackle house, church and farmhouse.

Next up is an MDF two-storey shop from Sarissa Precision.  

Arthur picked up this kit months ago.  It has been sitting unassembled here for months until he finally asked me to finish it for him.  During the wait, two of the risers for the stairs disappeared.  Taking advantage of this, I did not attempt to replace them, instead leaving the gaps which are just the right size to allow a figure to rest part way up the stairs.

Figures fit nicely on the stairs.

The building is designed to allow figures to more around inside.  Although I again chose not to finish the interior!

Just as the Renedra building is slightly under scale, the Sarissa building is slightly over scale!  This has an advantage of allowing figures to move around easily inside the building.  On the other hand, it means that the Sarissa shop doesn't really match the others in my little town!  It's also somewhat delicate.  The balcony in front has already come apart once, requiring repair, and the stairs in the back are going to require some delicate handling.  Still, it was nice to build and paint and by adding a two-storey building the wild west games will get wilder!
