MBA Shanty Town

 I m a huge fan of doing things as inexpensively as possible. However, sometimes you need the something and damn the price.

Resin terrain is the flagship of terrain, it is expensive and high detail. And nobody does resin terrain quite like my friends over at MBA. 

This isn't a paid hack from them either. Truth be told, I'm too cheap to buy any of my BIG items from MBA.  Which is why all my larger buildings are MDF or scratch built. But when i CAN afford their stuff, I prefer it (as yo'll see why below) But usually what I buy from MBA is their high quality scatter and filler bits to finish off lesser MDF kits and scratch builds. Rarely do I splurge on something like a full sized MBA building, let alone multiple...

This is my Shanty Stuff. Useful for Fallout Tabletop, or any number of modernn or post apocalyptic shitholes one might want to have a gunfight in.

This is a 4x6 table. pretty well loaded up with terrain.
Mostly from one or two of their kickstarters or the off piece picked up at a convention from Kirk.
Especially the walls. I seem to always pick up another 6-10" of wall every convention I go to...

Their stuff on their site is better painted (I am at best mediocre as a painter) but it is forgiving of errors
And VERY fun.

I like the little details on these buildings. You can tell they had fun making them

Get your food at "Food Store".
Get your Intestinal parasites there too!

Removable roofs are a hallmark of the sets. Even smaller ones like this meat stand!

I can only imagine the smell

Now that I own a 3D printer, would I still buy buildings like this?
Yeah actually. something like this with all these overhangs and details i'd probably have 3-4 messed up prints before getting one i'm happy with. I'd rather use the 3D printer for stuff i CAN'T get in MDF or resin cheaply

Even in the armpit of shanty town, there's work to be had for those that want it

This one is still a work in progress. going to be a workshop/garage!

The interiors are playable but lack details. readily improved if you are so inclined

I've mostly used them for solo-battles of Narco-wars so far (if due just to pandemic).
But I want to run some Fallout when conventions start back up.

This 2-story looks straight out of Fallout 3's "Megaton". I also enjoy having balconies to shoot off of.

The mat underneath is a bit of pleather from the fabric store hit in wide swaths with the same color primer paints I used on the buildings, and dry brushed in places with the same colors I dry brushed the buildings. Makes it tie in together a bit better I think...
