Review- Black Site Studios New Horizon Bank And Trust
Last year I picked up the New Horizon Bank And Trust by Black Site Studio. This is a fun prepainted MDF and acrylic kit. Once I saw it, I knew I was going to have to grab it. It reminds me of so many midwestern bank buildings built in the 1980s. The kit is designed ... Read more
Painted- The Avengers
Recently, I picked up the new Marvel Crisis Protocol game. It’s a great value with 10 minis including scenic bases and a bunch of terrain, all in hard plastic. I was a little concerned about the 40mm scale, but once I saw the minis in person, I was no longer worried. They do tower a ... Read more
