An excellent buy! All the buildings are of a high quality design and once printed will look great for our gaming.

Great product, well impressed with design and concept

The buildings and such are well designed, and reasonably easy to put together. I'd make the following recommendations, however, that would probably make things easier. There could be added some small tabs to the bottoms of the buildings so they would stand up more easily, and for those to be put into permanent display types, like diorama, etc., make them easier to glue in place on their boards.

Also, the Roman legionary tents--papilio, one is called--were made of brown leather. It could be possible to re-color them on the pdf without too much trouble on your part, if you wanted them to be accurately colored. They were made up of multiple goat hides or cow hides, so there could be small panel lines drawn on also. I have painted mine with water color, but it would be nice not to have to do so.

Great job, and amazingly detailed tiny models. Hats off to Mr. Holz and staff.

Wow what a superb set. These buildings are superb with great detail. I would suggest that when building them cut the tabs off and mount the buildings on 2mm grey board. This gives you plenty of strength. we also found that using evo-Stick contact adhesive works really well as it doesnt cause the ink to run unlike PVA. Get these buildings they will make your cowboys and gals very happy.

Inexpensive and beautiful, i'm not disappointed! I can start building my own town inspired by Bodie, California! Just add few accessories, barrels, crates, wagons... And i think the result will be awesome. I have bought this set first after trying the Imperial Saloon sample and, at last, now i can play Far West Skirmish Games! I wanted to do that for years! Now I can even fill an entire table without ruining me. Just watch your favorite serie, take your hobby knife, metallic ruler, pair of scissors, white glue and your first building will be finished soon!

Bon marché et très joli! Je ne regrette pas mon achat et je pense acheter d'autres set dans le futur. Whitewash, c'est du papier certes, mais c'est bien plus beau que certaines maisons en résine que j'ai pu voir. Et là, on peux même remplir une table sans se ruiner! ça fait bien 10 ans que je voulais jouer des règles western sans pouvoir le faire à cause du prix des bâtiments. maintenant je peux commencer à construire ma ville minière. Mettez votre série préférée, prenez votre cutter, une règle métallique, une paire de ciseaux et de la colle blanche (séchage rapide) et votre premier batiment verra le jour en peu de temps!

I always wanted to play Wild West Miniature games but my main problem was the cost of a Western Town! I was pleased with the result of building this Saloon, i downsized it to play with 1/72 plastic figures and replace some few things, like the front pillars, by balsa wood. The result is very nice, i have bought after my first set of Whitewash City! Hurra! I can play Wild West Miniatures now! Paper scenery is a good alternative for Historical or fantasy miniatures wargames. Highly recommended! Thanks Mr Hotz! Time to build the Starter Set now.... :D

J'ai toujours voulu jouer des jeux d'escarmouches western mais j'ai toujours été arrêté par le prix prohibitif d'une ville en résine. Maintenant, grâce à "Whitewash City" je peux le faire! J'ai tout d'abord essayé l'Imperial Saloon, remplacé les piliers en papier par des tiges en balsa et le résultat m'a convaincu. Le modèlisme en papier, c'est bien mieux que ce qu'on croit. J'ai téléchargé deux sets et je ne suis pas déçu, je peux enfin créer ma ville minière de l'Ouest Sauvage... Les décors en carton sont une excellente alternative pour les tables de jeu historique ou fantastiques. Hautement recommandé! Merci Mr. Hotz! Je retourne à la construction du "Starter Set"!

This set is a good investment for those with an interest in ancient naval warfare. It is a complete game, with all of the counters, reference charrts and ship stats you need. It also includes a set of 3D models, which look quite good when assembled. I have not played yet, but I feel confident that I understand the rules and they will give a good game.

I have built several of the models and I am impressed. They look good and are simple models, although due to the close tolerances in the fit of some parts they are not necessarily easy for beginninig modellers to build. I printed some at half size (1/600 scale) and was able to build them without too much trouble, despite the tolerances being even narrower. I think building the models at a scale smaller than that would be quite difficult.

My only real criticism at this point is that the set is limited to the Roman period - sets expanding it for the Greek wars or into the medieval period would be great additions. That said, I think with a little work a person could easily adapt the core rules to play those periods.

Overall, I think this set gives excellent value. I have no regrets about buying it and several of the fleet and terrain packs.

Entirely too tempting!

I don't even play anything Roman (Though I like a couple of Naval simulation games of some kinds).

The catalog has loads of good pictures of the models available, and really does its job in explaining the products and making me want to play.

This gives your fleet something to escort, reasons to be at sea at the time and place you are gaming. Nice models in their own right. Assembly difficulty is moderate primarily because of the size, but they look great when you get them finished. Do a once-over with the instructions before printing, as there are some parts to be printed on plain paper and others to be printed on card stock.

Very nicely done. Whether you want town terrain for your Ancients naval game or just to populate your 6mm Ancients game, these work out very well.

Great system. The 2D counters and printed map sheets allow me to get started quickly while I learn to play. The Carthaginian fleet 3D models are nicley done as well. Lots of options with masts and sails, officer quarters, etc.

Very nice models. The Barbarians add to the range nicely. Options to use masts and sails make this set very flexible, adding to the number of different looking ships when your done. The amount of information on each printed sheet makes assembly pretty easy.

Excellent models, fairly simple builds. Note to buyers - read the instructions before you start printing. I didnt need to print the inside hull pieces on card stock. Instructions are very clear and cover the whole line of ships.

I found this a very neat model with parts fitting together very nicely. It is not a very difficult model to assemble with a little patience. I printed on 160grm card and found that using tooth picks for the porch roof supports and railing and the horizontal support for the signboard made it more sturdy for handling. I was also able to shorten the lenght of the saloon to make it fit into the plot assigned on my layout board. A model well worth building, Peter Roos RSA

The saloon was the first Hotz WHITEWASH CITY building I built and it turned out really nice. Very impressed! At first I was thinking, "ok paper? that can't be all that great?" BUT... I was totally floored at how good these models look when they are finished! Everything Hotz puts out is top of the line and these buildings are no exception. They take a little time and care to put togther right, afterall they are a "model" like any other model, and the same rules apply. If you do it right, they look fabulous! I bought a bunch of other town rows in the series and built an entire town after I finished this one. Great product!
