Anyone else use these products?

CPT Jake23 Apr 2008 5:20 a.m. PST

Yep, I have a bunch of it and love it.

I've spent close to seven hundred Australian bucks with them in the last three months for terrain for a FoW tournament, a large order of roads (approx 24 foot) and their new bocage range (34 foot). Regarding their service, top notch and they're a pleasure to deal with especially being located in Australia. I've also had extensive experience using a friend's collection in tournaments, and I can verify that it's sturdy and stands the test of time well.

I can't but more highly reccomend them for roads and bocage, they're the business. Good fields, but I've found cut up teddy bear fur looks even better and is way cheaper. Their new range of tiles I've seen first hand and they're not bad at all, as are their new range of hills. Their area terrain pieces like woods and walled fields aren't bad, you could do better but then they have the advantage of being robust enough for lardy gamers to use and abuse year on year, where as say the Crescent Root rangs of walled fields are slightly more fragile and far more expensive.

Their resin buildings have a way to go, but their not too bad – a bit too small for FoW and I hope the new ranges are larger.

One thing definitely to note is that the paint colours tend towards darker hues. Overall a good buy with some pieces that you can skip (rocky terrain), some are just good value for $$$ spent (woods and some of the fields) and some are the best I've seen (roads and bocage).

I've probably got about $400 USD worth of their stuff--mostly rivers and roads.

Whatever happened to their 6mm town/village peices?

I own a number of their small roads and rivers, and these look great on the table.

I bought about $600 USD worth last year (intended to be used for 25mm, but secondarily 15mm), and a somewhat smaller amount this year (intended to be used for 6mm and 10mm, and secondarily for 15mm). I wish I could afford to cover my game table completely with their stuff.

Scott,I still have the promotional sample you gave me at your game at ATC.

Scott Mingus23 Apr 2008 6:15 a.m. PST

CapnJak,

Yes, they were quite generous to send me a box of small samples to help spread the word in the US about their products. I think I passed out two or three dozen samples at that long-ago convention.

For me, that was a lifetime ago… the intervening years have been a blur of activity.

Dave Crowell23 Apr 2008 8:07 a.m. PST

I love their stuff! I have a Dark Ages village of theirs on my blog and it draws rave reviews. I only wish I could claim credit for it, but it is straight from the box.

I still have a hard time believing that it is just hollow latex rubber.

Good Bye23 Apr 2008 9:20 a.m. PST

I use plenty of Miniature World Maker terrain pieces. The latex pieces are very robust.

Wargamer Blue23 Apr 2008 5:40 p.m. PST

I use a lot of their terrain. Great stuff. Especially the train tracks.

Madmike123 Apr 2008 8:41 p.m. PST

Cheap and good quality. Make sure you over order otherwise when you get your stuff you will be disappointed you didn't order more originally.

Whatisitgood4atwork24 Apr 2008 1:45 a.m. PST

Yes. Got my first lot and they are my favourite terrain ever. They look great and are as practical as heck. Good service as well. I will be ordering more in 6mm and 25mm when I get round to it.

Yep, I use their rice fields and European fields. Great stuff and a very responsive company to fan requests.
