Can anyone recommend a European-based company that makes plaster molds suitable for making messload of Mordheim buildings?

Anyone? Bueller?

I found there is a hirstart company based in the U.S. Anyone have experience with their molds?

Hirst is the only plaster mould company that I am aware of. I got some "building kits" made from these moulds from ebay UK. Nice stuff if you really need lots of terrain, but plaster is heavy and very fragile. The usual careless gamer will cause many chippings, revealing the quite plaster underneath. In the end I opted not to use these often.

Mordheim alternatives:
1.) Original paper models
2.) Dave's Games paper models (pdf's) http://www.davesgames.net/ (also a bit fragile but easy to make copies)
3.) World Works Games paper models http://www.worldworksgames.com/store/
4.) Vatican Enterprises http://www.wargamescenics.com/ affordable robust realistic 25mm buildings (no ruins)
5.) Kobblestone http://www.kobblestone.ca/ nice set of city buildings, my basis for a medieval town
6.) Tabletop World http://www.tabletop-world.com/ nice detailed buildings (Inn ruin!) but realistic scale, not symbolic like most other terrain
7.) Ziterdes http://www.ziterdes.de/ziterdes/en/produkte/listview.php?catID=64&subcatID= affordable buildings, ruins and the best castle in 28mm, also other terrain

These are rather nice

They also have them with a red tint

In the UK I use TerraScenic http://www.terrascenic-online.co.uk/acatalog/Moulds__Mould_Making_and_Casting.html they supply Hirst arts, Linka and their own moulds I have only used hirst as it does SciFi and Gothic that suit 40K

hirstarts rocks. I built an entire warhammer quest board, replicating the sections that came in the box and it's really awesome stuff.
