Subject: Re:URBANMATZ - producer of neoprene battle mats and prepainted terrain - NEWS
Pro: This is the best looking pre painted terrain I have seen produced to date. The details are crisp, the colors were great, and it is well painted. Overall, I really like the look of the terrain and it fits into some of my other sets from Urbanmatz.
Con: the resin was very brittle and thin in some areas. Some of the thin walls were also hollow compounding the problem. This resulted in some of the terrain breaking during transit. I am not sure how well it will hold up over time, but likely with careful handling it will last years. When the box arrived two pieces of terrain were broken (see photos). One of the buildings I may be able to repair with super glue, but the second it is very unlikely I can repair it due to how many pieces it was broken into. I am not sure if I got a set with just some manufacturing defects or all of the terrain is made this way.
Summary it is the best lookIng terrain they have produced to date, but much more brittle than the ruined building set. 7.5 out of 10. An easy 10 out of 10 if the quality improves.
+++UPDATE after leaving this review Urbanmatz sent me replacement buildings and they arrived in less than a week. These pieces were not broken and look amazing. With this level of customer service I have upgraded my rating to a 9 out of 10 for these particular buildings. With the newer GW 44” x 60” the terrain really fills up most of the table using the full set.

Thanks for the review ! We check each piece of terrain before shipping so yes it must have happened during shipping. We replace all broken pieces with no problem to all of our customers so pls just email us urbanmatz@gmail.com and we will arrange replacements for you !

I'm getting the Asphalt mat next time my club does a group preorder. It'll be my first Urbanmatz mat. Really clever how it works with the 10x10" plots.
