Sarissa's Black Friday Sale 2025

 Well, considering I have a couple of kilo's in the attic (MDF, not the powdery stuff) I really should not order anything, buuut....

I only picked up 4 kits this time.

28mm City Hall is a new release. This is for my 28mm Post Apoc collection. I already picked up some wooden dowels to replace the columns with. 

Also a new release is the 28mm Drive In. This will go fine with the screen I made shortly after getting run over in 2015. I think it is time for it. Might change the name though.

I spotted the 28mm Marshport Refinery in a battle report a while back and I had it on my list for Stalker, so in the order it came. Will get a new roof and the top frame will be removed. 

And the German Airfield Control Tower. Worn down, it will work perfectly for the Russian base in my Stalker collection. Will most likely have to severely harden the handrails as they look like card to me and I want them to last. 

And that is it for this year. I don't expect to receive any of this before Christmas, the Post is pretty swamped as is. And I have plenty of other stuff to build before these....

Sarissa Precision N610 Extra Weatherd and Damp....finished

 That was fun. These little ones build and paint up so fast compared to my 28mm stuff, but I really should get cracking on finishing one of those soon. Maybe next week. 

Anyway, same kit, different kind of weathering. In this case pretty damp and not cared for for a very long time. 






And a quick comparison to the previous one.



 

Sarissa Precision N605 - Small 2 Storey House - WIP

 Assembly is simple and quick. The shutters on these are rounded at the top which is nice. The footprint is the same as the ruins, and the roof and first floor lift off quite nicely. Think I'll got for a weather yellow wall and green shutters this time. Also need to cut a add on roof out of foam so it fits Vietnam better, and then tile that.

Same footprint as the ruins, with a little concrete pad for the front door.

Just realised this would work as a burnt out shell as well, if you leave out all of the card bits. Hmmm...

Maybe add some planters in front of the open windows?


Plenty of ideas, but for now, it can dry so I can coat all the card tomorrow.

Another N610 - But now a lot more weathered WIP

 A lovely (albeit solitary) hobby evening, and all of the weathering is done on the new (well, is it really new.....) house ruin. Let it all dry and tomorrow evening it's time for the leaves, debris and other plantlife. 

15mm can paint up really quick if you stop (over)thinking about it.

Sarissa Precision N610 and N613 WIP

 Another N610 ready for paint, but this one will be painted as something that has been destroyed years ago. We will see if I can get that done tomorrow evening.


Also assembled N613 Single Storey Souk. This can dry tonight, tomorrow magnetise the front so I can add signs so it fits Afrika, Vietnam and any Arab speaking country. Just swap signs when needed. I'll leave the roof bare so I can add water tanks or little gardens on top, again when needed.

Sarissa Precision N610 - Destroyed Small House - 15mm

 I picked this up in last years Black Friday Sale (I think....could have been the year before?).

Comes with a 1x MDF sheet and 1x card sheet with parts. Cleanup is quick as always, minimal nubs. Assembly is quick, you can't really go wrong here tbh. I left off the ruined 1st/2nd story roof rathers/floor/whatever it is (I really don't know) that you can assemble hanging down into the open floorspace. I just put that into the spares box for a future project and snipped down a few of the planks that extended a bit too much for my liking. 

Currently retails for 9,99 Euros. Destroyed Small House - 15mm

White primercoat, sponged another wite coat, grey coat and dark washes, details in red, last ashy highlight and she is done for my 15mm AK-47 and Vietnam collection. Went for the "This just burned down"-look. Might make another in a "We don't go there anymore...." look, not sure if I have more of these.
