Well well well

If these are priced like other stuff this could be great.

Anyone have any experience and/or opinions on the ranges they've already released?

I don't think it's really worth the savings if you have to paint or wallpaper the texture on.

Also, saying it's suitable for such a range of scales is straining my Willing Suspension of Disbelief horrifically.

Yep it can't be for 15 and 20mm without being a half arsed close-ish match. Might as well buy model railway stuff.
Having read the FB page it seems they are for 15mm but slightly bigger than other manufacturers buildings currently produced. Seems a strange path to take but I'll reserve judgement until I can see them in the flesh.

Wow, that stuff is just painted on foam board?

I'm not sure if I should be super impressed by someone's painting skills or disappointed by the fact that it is just foam board, or both.

I agree with Chironex, maybe not worth the effort when one could use balsa or craftwood for a similar price or less and already have the texture.

I wish them luck but like BALM said: let's wait and see.

The ad images certainly look impressive.

I just got the building set and the church.
The aren't foamcore boards..they're plasticy foam..slightly flexable,maybe more like plasticard.

The aren't smooth either..they have etched/pressed detail and texture on them.

From my initial estimate they're abit bigger then my 15mm ironclad buildings..I wouldn't be surprised if they are very close to HO(18mm) scale…which isn't a bad compromise.

When I finish one I'll post it with other terrain and some plastic soldier company's 15mm figures and vehicles.

Heres close up shots of the details
