Things from the basement...

Things From the Basement is a new lasercut terrain maker that had a popular kiosk at HuzzahCon. They had lots of 28mm bits and bobs as well as WWII buildings and a Fantasy range of buildings. The prices were good so I bought a stable, stable manor and a town house. I hope to add them to my growing 28mm building collection for Bolt Action and Chain of Command. They will also work for Fantasy skirmish and English Civil War. The buildings want together easily and look great. So far I have only built the smaller 2 of the trio. My only complaint is that the roofs are plain. I remedied this by adding shingles made from a cereal box. They have a lovely set of rail fences but were sold out at the show. I had plans to make my own but this product looks great and is reasonably prices so it has made my wish list.

Here is a link to their website so you can judge for yourself:

Here are my work in progress pic. Paint is next. This is the Stable Manor with and the removable second story.






This is the stable and a shot without the roof.

  1. Nice kits! You say these are for ECW? I must investigate.

    1. They are fantasy themed but seem a good fit for ECW

  2. A nice level of detail to those kits and adding tiles takes them to another level again. They look like they have a lot of presence while maintaining a relatively small footprint for 28mm, so ideal for the smaller table.

    1. I wish I had put a 28mm figure in the shot for scale. They would be good for a smaller table skirmish game. I suspect in my big battle games they will be relegated to a corner as scenery
