Enter ... Crescent Root Studio. Here are some pictures I gleaned from their website (hopefully they don't mind!):

They even sell the roads/sidewalks/building bases ... man ... if I didn't already have my sidewalks/roads sorted out I'd be hard pressed not to order a heck of a lot of what they are selling ...
As I move forward on my WW2 "west front" town project I found myself with some space that needed filling - which I planned to do with a park and some additional bush/stone wall type features ... but not now ... I have quickly snapped up their 28mm series 2 and series 3 buildings which have nicely filled out my overall towns look and feel ... see below ...
What is more amazing, is both the dynamic nature of the range, how easily it all goes together, and how it comes out of the box. I had already assembled the restaurant --- but it was a snap to disassemble and then take pictures of it being put back together ... using a unique system of pinning which you can see in the pictures below ...
Note that not a single drop of glue or tool is used to accomplish the build ... I used nothing but my bare hands ...
 |
| The building taken out of the box (the various parts come packed in plastic zip lock bags, so all I've done at this point is removed those parts from the bags. |
 |
| Take the walls and line them up while securing the interior guide stubs and aligning the holes. |
 |
| Start to thread the pin into the hole. |
 |
| Secure the top and bottom pins. |
 |
| Complete all four walls by repeating the above steps. |
 |
| Place the second story floors down on top of the interior bars for support. |
 |
| Get the roof sections and check the alignment of the holes. |
 |
| Attach the small roof. |
 |
| Attach the main roof - both front and back sections. |
 |
| Done! Front. |
 |
| Side A. |
 |
| Back. |
 |
| Side B. |
And some of the others buildings I have from them ...
 |
| Excellent details like signage and weathering. |
And that it ... my hat goes off to the team at Crescent Root Studios. Their communication was excellent and they shipped the product exactly when they said they would (they show their lead time right on their website).
If you haven't checked them out, you are doing a disservice to yourself!
