A year or more ago I came across someone selling some of their Hudson and Allen buildings on eBay. After doing a due diligence search (checking to see if I had the money and verifying that the purchase was a good deal (whether I had the money or not) I plopped down around $30 for a set of eight buildings. Much to my delight, this actually worked out to around 90-100 USD worth of buildings!

And now I have to admit a couple of things:

1) I own the H&A Alamo so I qualify as something of a fanatic

2) I *just* got these out this weekend and started painting them - thus the subject of this post.

It appears that the buildings are made from a self-expanding foam that allows the model maker to get good detail on castings despite undercuts and so on. The buildings are rigid, one-piece construction with a hollow interior. The walls are .5 to .75 inches thick so they are pretty sturdy and should be able to undergo a lot of handling without adverse consequences. They are medieval buildings but still fit in nicely with OSW style gaming. I primed these with a base coat of Krylon Ultra Flat Black spray paint and then dry brushed them until I was satisfied. These four buildings probably took less than an hour each, max.
