Would you put your models on this?

[Admiral-Badruck]

it is nice I bit too bulky and I think there would be more debris in the bottom but I like ed it we enough to start plans for one of my own..

[me_in_japan]

not that impressed at all, tbh. So its big. meh. Anybody can build big. Can they build detailed, thats the question. They talk about bullet holes n whatnot, but bulletholes are easy. Where are the dead bodies? where are the shell craters? Where are the rats?

Its fine for a self-made piece of gaming terrain, but for sale at 650 bucks, youd expect a hella lot more than that.

[Admiral-Badruck]

I get what MIJ is saying I mean for 650 USD there should have been a bit more work put in to it... but that said it not something they can mass produce and if you wanted to make money on it you would have to make it counting labor and materials for 325 USD I think it would take at least a day to lay our a day to build and like 2 or three to paint not bad if you are only paying a single guy 6 USD an hour but I am guessing he pays his guys more...

These guys must be taking the p*ss. It doesn't actually look that good. It's just tall.

For US$650 you could buy a ton of GW buildings and make something a lot better. It's the price of 7 or 8 city sector boxes (the one with 4 ruined buildings). You could also build a huuuuugggeeee castle using the WFB fortresss kit

Even if you don't like GW you can get a lot more for your hard earned dosh. $650 would go a long way at these places...

Yup, I am not saying that it is looking good in any way, just wanted to say that it is freaking huge and I wouldn't want my models to come tumbling down from.. what is it.. the 6th floor?

I would prefer smaller detailed pieces.

I watched the video with the sound off - they're trying to sell that thing? That mass of foamcore and styrofoam? Ought to be ashamed of themselves. It's no more than "all right" as a piece of home-made terrain, but for something to buy?

Heck, the building complex thing from Forgeworld is about that price, is a lot easier to fight over (what with its removable roofs and lack of danger of models falling three feet to the tabletop) and doesn't look like poo.

[Spevna]

I could make that in a day.
I could paint it in a day.

I would not pay for it.

But, getting back to the point that Seb was asking about, I wouldn't be putting any of my favourite models on it.

Can you imagine what would happen if your models were up there and someone 'Did a John'?
