Christmas Tree and a House

Christmas stuff is pretty cheap in April.

I got this 1/2 off at Dollar General.  It's glass but feels more like resin.

It's a jar.

It matches Race's shirt nicely.

Valentines Day gifts are also cheaper in April too.

I got a little house at Hobby Lobby.

The inside lights up.  I don't usually care about that and often remove and recycle the batteries.

Like the Christmas tree it matches Race Bannons shirt.  I am building a little Santa's Village.
 

Walmart House

Walmart Christmas house, with Nativity Set.

It's a nice building and works for a period of the last 150 years or so.

It has the usual big hole in the back, I need to cover it, probably with a window.

Chimney look pretty good. 

Not much snow on the roof.

Here it is as a beach house.
 

Three Buildings

This was a great year for Walmart Christmas buildings.

They are cheap and I spent a fortune on them.

This one is very nice.

It's a pub.

But would work well for any kind of food service building.

Or a bookstore, or antique shop.

Anything that is mixed use retail or light commercial or office.

And it fits nicely with this little Funko mini too.

Here is another Walmart building.

A bicycle shop.

Maybe the Wright Brothers worked here?
 

Toy Soldier Theater

Walmart Christmas building, the Theater.

This building would also work as an apartment building, or even offices.

I have rather a lot of theaters.

So I could use them to create a theater district or entertainment district.

It is a very nice building I think, stairs are a bit steep.

Nice side view and note the stairway is undercut.

The usual big hold in the back.  Let me know what you would do with these big holes.

The other staircase.

I added a few toy soldiers to make it a more festive, or more military style building.
 

Not Really a Train Station

Walmart Newcastle Train Station.

There is not really much that says this is a train station other than the sign.

It looks a lot like an art museum, or city hall building.

Perhaps a small factory of hand made items.

Maybe a theater so people can watch a play?

Perhaps a music school, or an art school?

Most train stations would have doors in the back, obviously this one does not!

So it seems like a good opportunity to print up a bunch of signs and keep them ready for deployment over the Train Station signage.
 

Casino No Joker

Like the other Walmart Christmas buildings I have this one has the hole in the back for the electrical cord for the lights. I don't use the lights, I don't like having live electricity on the wargame table.

Tasteful potted plant at the front.

The top looks almost like corrugated steel.  Not a great look for a casino.

K-9 poker night.

Just like a velvet painting.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogs_Playing_Poker 

Hot Wheels makes a few cars with playing card themes and they look great outside the Casino.  Maybe a good hide out for the Joker?
 

Casino

Walmart buildings were great this year, I got a lot of them.

This is their Casino.

They did a Casino a few years ago, then modified it and came out with a second version of it the next year.

This now the fourth Walmart Casino I have.

I don't know but I suspect their mold process may be done in parts to they can mix and match components to change up a building into different versions.

From the side this could be a library, or retail, or even a government building.  James Bond gambles in London, Monte Carlo, and Las Vegas so having a casino is a good idea.
