I've finished building another set of 4Ground buildings from their Port of Plunder series and I couldn't be happier. I started with the Hovel set and they were fairly simple and a good first experience for me. This set of 3 Colonial Port Houses was more complex and took more time, but building on the … Continue reading 4Ground Ports of Plunder Colonial Houses Set
