Now this is a post series that’s been dormant for some time! I’ll just recycle this text from my last post… (it’ll all make sense pretty quickly!)
̶L̶a̶s̶t̶ ̶Y̶e̶a̶r̶ three years ago, after seeing some impressive Not-Shadespire terrain on mcmattillaminis site, I got all excited and asked him where he got them, and then went to the website to order myself a set or two of those models! Well, as so often happens with some of these small places, the promised despatch time for *cough* “in-stock” items blew out by several weeks and then when they eventually got here, some of the enthusiasm had dulled. So while I started a bunch of ruins shortly afterward, nothing has yet gotten to the point of completion. I did however manage to get a few models from the little baggie of freebies they gave me to apologise for the slow despatch (after several of my “uh… you said a few days 2 weeks ago?”-type emails). This Barricade usually comes as part of a larger set in the “HQ Resin” line. The mesh cutout on the “Rhino doors” part of the barricade isn’t repeated on the back, so I had to paint one in. I’ll have to add a line down the middle as well so that the carpet matches the drapes, so to speak…
Basically, this thing sat around from when I received it until very recently, when I sprayed it, then pulled my finger out and painted it. It’s a nice little piece. A simple one and very much in the vein of what most hobbyists can make themselves, but regardless – it’s a pretty good bit of terrain.

Shame about the delivery time, if I ever have a delay, always try to email the customer to let them know in advance. What you’ve done with it is excellent, nicely weathered and great work on matching the front with paint.

Yeah, I’m not too fussed about it now – several years later – but it’s the sort of thing that does give you pause when doing the “should I buy from here again?” down the line. At least they were nice enough to offer a meaningful Mea Culpa. A lot of places don’t do nearly that much or even respond, unfortunately.

That is a nice looking barricade, if there really is such a thing! 🙂

Why does Poland have the resin terrain and bits and bobs corner of the wargaming market cornered?! I always end up ordering from one of the many Polish companies when I need stuff like this because they inevitably have the best stuff or the biggest selection. I can imagine it takes a long time to get from Poland to Oz though, unfortunately… With that said, I really like this piece of terrain. Its a nice looking barricade that looks organic and believable. Your paint job is excellent as well too!

Cheers! The postage from Europe can be a few weeks but honestly, I’m pretty used to it at this point. It’s just not for “wow, I want to paint that this weekend” kind of purchases! 😀

Thanks! It’ll be pretty versatile across sci-fi, “near future” & post apoc games at least..
