I pulled the above from the MBA Blog.  I realized it might not have been obvious from my last post. 

Miniature Building Authority Review

The 28mm modern terrain convenience store

I've recently had a chance to get some Miniature Building Authority 28mm Modern Terrain.  I actually picked up quite a bit of MBA's 28mm Terrain, but most of it was for our Mordhiem games.  Since this is blog about modern Zombies, I figured I would talk about the two things I grabbed that will bring some life to the sleepy berg of Lawrenceville after Z-day.  The first thing I am going to talk about is the convenience store pictured above.  It comes out of the box painted as shown.  All of MBA's products are made from some kind of industrial resin that is hard and durable.  The roof comes off so you can get at the inside and move your guys around.  Both of these models are from the standard MBA line, so come with empty space inside.  They sell unpainted kits to finish out the convenience  store as that or as a restaurant.  I will be picking  up the restaurant stuff, as I plan on finishing this up as "Burger Tank" of Left for Dead 2 fame.













I also picked up the 28mm Trailer.

Both of these are solid and good representations of American culture.  I like the dual utility of the Convenience store.  Probably what I like most about them both is the fact that I don't have to paint anything.  My painting skills (or lack thereof ) are well documented earlier in this blog.

       So, am I happy with these?
       Absolutely!   I would recommend them to any gamer in 28mm modern.  I will be picking up more stuff from them soon.  They just announced a sale on the modern stuff. The car on blocks is a personal favorite. What do you guys think?

Model Tech Studios Review

Hello again-

    I am going to review an accessory pack from Model Tech Studios.  I was looking for some things other than buildings to flesh out my board for Zombie gaming, specifically for ATZ (All Things Zombie).  I have some zombies and some survivors, some o scale buildings, and some 1/43 scale cars.  I wanted some stuff, you know stuff.  Model Tech seemed to fit the bill.  I ordered the Alley Trash pile.  I also got the jersey barriers (everywhere in Atlanta it seems) and the Industrial Shelving.  I will probably do those later in another review, I have to paint them first.  The Trash pile came painted.  Here are the pics.  On the right is a VF zed, and on the left a swat team member for size comparison.

What I liked about the product:  It give an area of difficult terrain that is spot on for a suburban/urban environment.  It came prepainted.  The sculpting was pretty good.  The ease, in short.

 What I didn't like so much:  It has to back up to a wall, as it is not sculpted on the back side.  It is a bit on the large size for the items in question in some cases, and not in others (scaling isn't consistent). The paint job is of slightly less than tabletop quality as far as I'm concerned.  I will have to touch up or just repaint in some places.  My painting skills are not wonderful, but this is worse than what I would accept to put on the field. 

I will order more from them.  I will not pay the extra for prepainted stuff though.  It doesn't cost much more for the paint job, but I will end up doing it over anyway.  They shipped quickly.  It came well packed.  Overall, I am pleased with my experience and would recommend them to other hobbyists.  The one thing I'd like to see from them is a size comparison.  The industrial shelving is too tall to fit in a one story O scale building.  I will just use it for outdoors, but I wouldn't have bought it on that basis.

On a completely different note, I just got my tracking number for my Zombicide Kickstarter. We'll just say I'm excited.  Hope to be able to show it off to you guys in all it's glory.
