My foray into 15mm is very recent, this year in fact. As such I had no terrain for this scale. Everything was scaled for 28mm. When it comes to hills and trees, this is not a huge problem. Man made structures, on the other hand, have to be the right scale.
I have been, slowly, adding to my 15mm terrain. On the fourth of July GameCraft Miniatures had a 20% off sale and I jumped on the chance to add some 15mm buildings to my table.
On August 1st my order arrived and the fun began.
|
The possibilities are endless. |
I opened the box as soon as I got home. The contents were well packed, wrapped in paper and separated into individual bags.
|
Nine bags of building goodness with a free measuring implement thrown in. |
I purchased a landing pad, a settler hut made from part of the colony ship's hull, two, two-story hab buildings, two container hab buildings and one garage. The whole lot was $70 with shipping and handling. Not bad at all.
|
The roof is paper, the rest laser cut wood. |
All of the wood fit together perfectly. Each piece is clean and easy to work with. Dry fitting was a breeze and some Aleene's Tacky glue stuck it all together lickity split. It also has that laser'd wood smell that is just dandy.
|
The two shipping containers with a CMG ARC Recon trooper for scale. |
These terrain pieces look nice as they are and will look even better with some paint on them. I now have a solid set of human terrain to gussy up a table and it was very reasonable. I'm very close to being ready to play some Gruntz.
|
The garage door is really quite large. I can fit a Viper in, vertically, but the weapons are too wide. |
|
I glued some offcuts to the back of the garage door so that it will stand up if I want to have it closed. |
|
The two story hab block. The two can be separated to be two buildings. (I'll have to make a roof for the first floor though). |
|
The stairwell. |
|
The second floor with the roof removed. |
|
The first floor. |
So. Gamecraft Miniatures. Great value, great service and very nice terrain. I'll definitely be adding more of their products as I expand my terrain collection.
