I have a number of HirstArts molds, that I picked up some time ago to make buildings for Warhammer 40K. However, I've recently started FoW.
Naturally, the buildings made from HirstArts blocks are way too large, as they are designed for 28mm miniatures while FoW uses 15mm ones. Then I came across A&K Studios ( keeblerstudios.com ), and their "Tiny Bricks" series of molds. Does anyone have experience with blocks made from these molds? In particular, I'd like to know whether buildings made with "Tiny Bricks" will be compatible with 15mm miniatures. |

I haven't used them but judging by the info they provide on the site, it looks like they'd be too big. It says in the description for Tiny Bricks Mold 1 "All pieces are 1/8" thick – individual brick size 1/4" x 1/8". I use a convention of 1 inch in 15mm scale being equal to 10 feet, so each of their individual bricks is 2 1/2 feet long by 1 1/4 feet high by 1 1/4 feet wide. That would be bigger than a big cinder block. I've heard that Linka has some stuff that can work but I've never seen it IRL and don't know dimensions. |

I agree that these bricks would be too large for 15mm, but the product is very nice. |

I have some Linka world molds and they are suitable for 15 mm gaming. |

Plastruct and Evergreen make (or made?) sheets of various brick, stone, wood/lumber, roofing, etc. in different scales. Are either or both still around? |

I took a look at Linka World, and that seems to be the best way to go for 15mm (or 1:100) buildings. Thanks for the recommendation, flooglestreet! |

So Linka bricks are smaller than A&K bricks ? Anyone compared them side by side ? I am looking to use them for 15mm gaming. |

Guess what guys? I may finally get to making appropriate Post Apocalyptic ruins. I just got my Juweela bricks: TMP link They are absolutely awesome! All 15mm, 20mm and 1/72 gamers should consider getting some. Dan |
