"Wooden 3d Puzzle building kits from China" Topic

I apologise if this has been asked or debated already.

I came across these, and whilst unsure of the scale, thought some of the available kits would be good for gaming purposes (hopefully 15mm skirmish, either fantasy, sci fi or Ronin).

What I'm not sure of is:
1. Quality or scale
2. Reliability of the vendor (never come across aliexpress.com before)
3. Opinions or experiences with any of these kits

Of note are a couple of oriental 'sets' and the seafaring ships look great value for money.

Here is a link to a vendor selling these:

Here is a couple of pics of examples I'm talking about:\

Any feedback welcomed.

If that is a metric scale in front of the Chinese junk, then it appears to be about 28cm (or 11") long, which should be a rather large size junk for 15mm figures.

And the link to the Chinese Garden House states that it is 33(W)x 53(L) x 15(H)cm (or about 13" W x 21" L x 6" H). I guess you can draw your own conclusions from those dimensions, but it should be a nice size for a skirmish setting in 15mm.

According to the description of the Chinese complex on you link, the footprint of this set is 33cm by 53cm, so might potentially be suitable for 28mm down to 15mm, as these sort of buildings come in a variety of real life sizes and any scale specific components could be left off. Nice find!

My impression of AliExpress is that it the flea market for all the knockoff and counterfeit crap on the internet. I ordered one thing for Christmas from them, took a little longer than promised, but I got it. :shrug:

There are sizes on the website. The Suzhou gardens model you show is 33cm W 53cm L and 15cm H.

A pulp game with fighting across the decks of several of those junks would be amazing…

Nice!
