Saw some of these on Miniature Market and I'm considering picking them up. But they seem wicked small for 28mm, even though they claim to be in sale for 15-28mm. Unfortunately there are no figures in the product pictures for reference.

Anyone use these?

15-28mm? that's a little too wide of a margin to be believably accurate. The only things I can imagine being useful across that many scales is stuff that is scale neutral (or as close to it as possible) like Trees, hills, and SOME bridge types.

Doorways are a specific height, windows are a certain height off the ground. What's chest high on a 15mm figure is ankle high on a 28mm. what's belly level on a 28 is often over the heads of a 15mm.

They are probably 1:72/HO scale (aka 20mm scale) and only look SLIGHTLY wonky for either of the other scales

The figures, in order in the last image, are from Black Scorpion, Guild of Harmony, Perry, OLd Glory USA, and Wyrd.

Not done, there is a resin piece to go into the window and door portal, and texture is to be applied. I am currently thinking textures from Clever Models.

Thanks for this.

No, the fact that you would have to apply your own texture makes this a more advanced project.
