Novus Design Studios has released a whole city's worth of new 6mm buildings for your tabletop. They've got factories, office highrises, ruins, an oil refinery and more for you to check out. Create the cityscape you want with these kits.

Maybe I am just getting old. But $15.00 USD for just one 6mm building seems kinda high for me.

"Maybe I am just getting old. But $15.00 USD USD for just one 6mm building seems kinda high for me."

Strictly speaking from a manufacturing point of view the cost of development is quite high and time to build the master (average scuplting prices are 10 dollars per mm) the mold is probly around $60 USD USD dollars (and lasts on average 100 pours) to make probably if its solid resin your looking at 7.00 per building pour costs not to mention needing a pressure pot and compressorfor molding (mine were about $500 USD total and thats a 2 gallon compressor and a 2 1/2 gallon pot). You also need vacume chamber and vacume pump for molding (about 500.00 USD again) so hes actulally making about a dollar or two a building.

Dosn't sound so bad now once you look at these costs.

Looks like it would cost me way more than $15 USD to make my own – seems ok to me – and Moe, that building looks really cool

Darkrazor – that's some very interesting information and insight into what goes into the production of those resin models.

You could certainly put together a beautiful modern Western CBD with these.
