I just found these plastic buildings on E-Bay and i think they are very good value, some of the colors are a bit bright but that's a easy fix, there are only a select few left so here is a link to check them out. :) Zac

great find, these will work well with heavy gear games

I purchased the Asian style shopping center and the Business building/office and with free postage i thought that was a pretty good deal, see below. I think they should match up well with the couple of clicky-tech Mechwarrior office buildings that i already use for my 15mm cityscape. :) Zac

From the numbers they have sold a fair amount of these & done to the last few in HO scale.

They do look pretty good.

Looks very nice. and quite affordable. A little slim on detail, but would be great for a large cityscape. and detail is easy to add. Only 2 GBP shipping to the USA and free for each additional is amazingly affordable.

For other affordable N/10mm buildings the Proxie Models building walls are also worth checking out. The N scale Gothic building is right on, and the 15mm office block is easily rescaleable as well. You can see what I did with them in 10mm here:

How out of scale would the n scale buildings look with 15mm? Or the HO for that matter.

They both sit on either side of 15mm, comes down to whether you like a tad small or a tad large.

I like a tag larger myself. :D

I liked John Treadway's idea of using n scale, but mounting on top of another structure. Like on the two left most buildings in this pic

I picked up an HO scale kit and did a little video here:

Funny stuff Mr H

McWong7313 Nov 2014 12:44 a.m. PST

Love it! And thanks, the HO scale buildings are pretty darn good too.

Excellent demo Mr H.

If I buy any I think it'll be the HO ones.

I would also definitely go with the HO myself.These are just screaming for mods and details and that's half the fun for me.

Damn Mr. H, but you're hairy! LOL

For those who are curious, I think that the platforms under the buildings on the left in the John Treadway picture are from the skateboard playsets that are pretty common in toy stores and resale shops right now. They have those nice tall grooves for fitting into ramps and stairs and such. I've got a batch but haven't decided what to do with mine yet.
