Miniature Building Authority has brought you the Town for your players, a great castle to protect the land, but now you need a great harbor for your town. Harbor Town is for you. Harbor Town is our next series of pre-painted, pre-assembled buildings for 28mm to 32mm games.
We need your support to bring this project to life. Harbor Town will give you a new system of jetties, piers, bridges, and buildings that are all modular and can be set up a different way every time you use them. This system, designed by our legendary in house designer, James Elmore, gives you so many fun options! You will have a selection of wooden jetties to choose from, stone piers, four types of bridges, five new boats, and new buildings to connect. You will be able to make the layout as crazy as you want with bridges connecting to buildings and stair cases going over other jetties. The only limitation will be your imagination!
This is our 8th Kickstarter project. We have delivered or are delivering on all our previous projects. We look forward to delivering these new items to you on time.
Objective:
To make available the best, most versatile, modular, highest quality, pre-assembled, and pre-painted set of jetties, piers, bridges, and buildings available in 28mm - 32mm. These new pieces will be 100% compatible with our existing line of buildings and accessories. These Harbor Town pieces are made of heavy-duty resin and are made for gaming.
Time Line:
The Harbor Town Kickstarter will run for 21 days starting September 20th, 2018, with an estimated delivery of no later than August 2019.
About our buildings:
Everyone loves pre-painted and pre-assembled buildings. We have been producing the finest gaming resin cast painted buildings since 2002. Our designer is James Elmore. He makes the original models by hand of all our products. Then they are sent to our manufacturers to be copied down to the finest details. Jim has been working on designing this system for two years. All of the original models are hand made from him and then resin cast for strength.
Harbor Town will give gamers endless options to build cool and challenging layouts for their games. With our system of different height jetties, this will allow you to connect them straight together, or you will be able to slide the lower level jetties underneath the higher level jetties to get different angles and lengths on your layouts. The levels will also give you action all over the table.
The figures we will be using in the video and photographs are from our own series of Town Folks which are available on our site. Reaper miniatures and Iron Wind which were painted by Jim Elmore, Special Thanks to Wizkids for allowing us to use their Pathfinder Battles pre-painted figures and Dungeons and Dragons Icons of the Realms pre-painted figures for this Kickstarter!
Painted versus unpainted: Miniature Building Authority is known for supplying you the gamer with beautifully painted gaming pieces ready to use right out of the box. All of the pledge levels will come painted. This color would be described a weathered sea grey. All of the buildings, jetties, and boats will be painted this color.
For those who want to paint their own pieces we have something for you as well. All of the big buildings are coming from China and will be painted. However, the smaller items will be made here in the USA. So you can choose the $1 pledge and then go to the add-on section near the end of the Kickstarter and choose unpainted ones for you.
Before we discuss the various levels I want to cover shipping with everyone. These products are either boxed and packaged with Styrofoam around them, or are wrapped in bubble wrap. Some of the buildings are large, bulky, and heavy. This will effect shipping.
SHIPPING: As with all Kickstarters, we will have to charge for shipping.
Continental USA orders: Shipping is not included and there will be a shipping charge owed when your order is ready to ship. Minimum shipping charge of $10 east coast and $15 west coast. Maximum shipping charge for East Coast: $70 and West Coast: $100. Any state East of the Mississippi River is East Coast and West Coast for west of the river. If you do add-ons to your pledge level, you may have additional shipping fees. These fees will be charged to you once the items arrive and actual shipping costs can be determined. You will be billed either via credit card or Paypal for these additional fees before shipping to you.
Outside Continental USA orders and Post offce boxes: You are paying the shipping, so we can ship to these locations. We highly recommend that you do not use PO boxes whenever possible. It would be less expensive to use a business address than a PO Box. Once the products are here and we can determine actual costs you will be contacted to let you know the additional fees. You will be billed either via credit card or Paypal for these additional fees before shipping to you.
International orders: There will be an additional bill for international shipping once the products arrive and actual shipping costs can be determined. At that point we will contact you, let you know we are ready to ship, and then send you an additional bill for shipping. Here is a sample of what a Large Village would cost to ship to the UK and Australia. UK $78: Australia $82: Note, these are prices from September of 2017 and we can not guarantee what the prices will be in mid 2018 from the Post Office. **get quote for small village when pledge levels are known.

Add ons are a fun way to customize your Harbor Town. We do have some initial add ons for you, and as we meet our stretch goals other items will be unlocked and added to the list of available items.
How do I add them to my pledge? Add up the price for each of the add-ons and add it to your pledge level. Then change the amount of your pledged amount to the new total.
We do have the option for some of the smaller pieces to be unpainted. When you do these add-ons, you will have the choice to pick either version in the pledge manager.
Please message me with which add-ons you are adding to your pledge. This will make it easier for both of us when the survey's come out after the campaign. Thanks, Kirk
The houses and buildings are only available painted. If a painted option is not listed, it only comes painted.
Risks and challenges
This is a big project; however, we have been producing high quality pre-painted and pre-assembled buildings for over 16 years. The prototypes are here. We are ready to get the campaign going, finalize the numbers and get our production facility producing the products. These will be made in China for the larger pieces and USA for the smaller ones. This is our Eighth Kickstarter, but we have always done pre-orders and we have delivered every time. The biggest risk is that this could be delayed longer than we are planning. We have done our best to make sure that this is a realistic and reachable delivery timeline.
All of the items will be hand painted. This may cause some variations in the painting from the pieces shown.
