Just put a couple of these together last week.



Was a bit unsure where to post them, (P&M Showcase, P&M tutorials, Misc miniatures) but I figured this would be the forum with the most interested parties.
As usual, you can read the whole review with more pics at the club's blog here:

Suffice to say, though initially designed for 15mm figures, I found them (with a few slight modifications) to be excellent for the 10mm miniatures the club uses for Sci-Fi Mass Battle and Mech game. An excellent value and a very useful product.

They look like cool buildings, but actually look a good bit too small for 15mm gaming.

Here's some shots (not mine) of them with 15mm figs.

The gothic buildings might be a tad small but they seem to work.

A number of folks have cut them up into multi-level ruins also, which is made even easier since they come with tabs on the inside for attaching floors.

The office/factory buildings work undeniably well. Note the size of the door without the modifications that I did.

Thanks for the pics! Both of these scales are new to me so it's very hard for me to judge what is the "right" size... but it's very useful to see some cheap sources of buildings like this.

You're welcome! I was impressed enough by these that I'll be picking up his new 28mm building kit soon.

What I'd like to see but haven't yet is the gothic wall set alongside 6mm figs. With 40k'ish cathedral architecture being as grand as it is, a clever gamer might be able to use them to replace the now OOP plastic gothic ruins from Epic 40k.

They really give a sense of scale to the Marauder. Plus you achieved nice detail since the first picture is indistinguishable from a 28mm scaled building.

Nice review. I just ordered 3 sets of his 15mm ruins, and 2 sets of billboards.

I ordered up a couple of N scale (15mm) Mechs from a different source...a Zeus & a Highlander IIc.

Stumbled across a couple things while moving to my new place last month...some old battletech models..which are actually reboxed Robotech models. Ive got an Officers Battle Pod (Marauder MAD-3R) and 3 regular Battle Pods, and several VFs, in 1/200 scale. BPs are 75mm high & OBP is 80mm high. Havent assembled the VFs yet.

Thanks,
I just received one of the new 28mm buildings in the mail today. I'm going to use it as the rooftop structure for a much larger building so I'll get pics of it up in a week or so.

I also received a second story for the 15mm office/factory above. Oddly, this time it came in grey.

I got my stuff today, billboards are in the dark material, ruins are in grey.
