Due to a large back-order it has taken a little longer than expected for my model to come... but now, the wait is over.
My initial impressions?
The piece has a good overall size. It feels as though it will sit nicely in the hand, be easy to manipulate (move) on the board, and not be too distracting compared to the other game pieces.
However, I have my concerns over the size of the village elements. To her credit, my wife warned me over the tiny-ness of the buildings and sadly, the perimeter fence didn't print; which would explain the render not including the fence line. More than likely, the fence was taller than it was wider and didn't meet the minimum wall thickness... in short, the fence was discarded in the print process because it was not structurally sound.
That's not to say this isn't it. I first need to cast the model in a couple different colors to determine if the small features of this piece will be overlooked or blend in artistically with the rest of the game. I can then think about trying to add any missing elements by hand (and then making a new mold) or to just edit my 3D model and have it reprinted.
In the mean time enjoy a couple pictures.
... standby for updates.
Again, if you haven't participated in my vote at boardgamegeek here,
please take a moment to do so.
