So I was wonering if anyone has purchased anyof these and how the measure up to minis. Im looking at playing Warmachine, and Warlord (if I move Ill have to find somewhere to play lol) and think that something like the inn would look good with those games models.

 

thank you

I have several of these. They are very nice, but do require a little skill in putting them together along with a good epoxy. On the ones that I have, there was a lot of 'flash' but almost no 'air bubbles'. On the ones that I own, none of the interior flooring were sized appropriately (too small), but mine are over a year old and this problem may have been solved. I added a thin notebook back floor to mine and used the floors provided to glue under the 2d stories giving a nice 'nest' to the pieces. The doors pinned readily and so can be made to open and close (though when using the provided flooring this may be difficult), while the shudders were a little thin for that kind of wear, imho.

 

All in all very nice buildings. A hair on the small side for Heroic 28mm, but then again, many folks like a smaller footprint on the tabletop. I would recommend picking up some of the add-on bits..chimney and shed to add a little variety and character to the buildings, especially if you have several.

Rabble Rouser:

 

The kits were designed so that you can mix and match the pieces in the same lines to make bigger or smaller buildings. A lot of companies make houses and such that are just for that particular building so if you purchase 2 of the same type you are pretty much stuck with what they are. These kits are so that you can mix, add or even redesign to get a larger variety in making your pieces (a modelers dream!) for instance you take this:

 

 

Add a few of kits together and make this:

 

 

Don't get me wrong you can build them right out of the box (and that is pretty simple as shown in the cottage assembly below), however if you want to do an entire village you can "model" the buildings to be different and add a lot more character to you board - adding the chimneys, sheds, walls and so on really bring it to life.

 

Here are some links to PMDs model sections for building and painting:

Here is a photo of a table using all PMD terrain:

 

I also agree with "Herzogbrian", The accessories really set them off and they take some work because of the modeling aspect, but in the end the results -IMHO- are well worth it.

 

Have a look at all the PMD modeling and painting on the site, you can get a lot of tricks and tips there (i have listed some of the links here but there is more!) Go to the "Timeless model collection" and from there click the various links to the buildings and there on the right hand side you will see links in all their sections on how to's and gallery's and such.

Now that I am home, here are some measurements of 1 modular section:

 

exterior

w=3 5/16" (84mm)

l= 4 9/16" (116mm)

h=1 5/8" (42mm)

 

door= 3/4"x1 1/2" (19mm x 38mm)

 

walls are 3/16" (8mm) thick so subtract 3/8" (16mm) from the above to get the interior
