Seems like there is quite the trove of useful stuff on there.  I'll have to keep an eye out.  8)

Don't know the deal.
I created an account so I could look at the links and make a Wish List.
Going good, was on for about 93 seconds looking over the links above and a few others.
Now I get s message from their site saying they have locked it out for some strange activity and I have to recertify my account.
Which now has to only be done through a test to my phone.
Anyone else have that issue?
Kind of a pissy deal.

Just recieved two of the KiWarm (aka "Outland") plastic N-scale buildings yesterday.  They are almost entirely snap together and except for one broken window sash, they were perfect.  I'll do a proper review in a couple days, but it was these two items.

I've been wanting to update my 10mm terrain for a while from the just-fine paper stuff I've got to real models and I think I'm going to slowly build up my collection of these really useful kits.  I was skeptical of the prepainted one, but it really impressed me.

Never heard of that before.  I've been locked out of my email (gmail and hotmail) before and had them send a link to my phone, but never ali.  On the somewhat postive side, at least they appear to be taking security seriously.

Good Luck!

Styrene/plasticard also appears pretty decently priced on ali.

I'm very curious to see how these look in the flesh! :)

More pics and a proper review to come (need to take some pics with figs) but here's a quick preview of the two KiWarm buildings.

They pretty much look just like the Ali adverts.

Looking good! Not the biggest fan of that P building, but it does look like it would fit in perfectly with the Akira project going around.

Here's the review of the KiWarm Buildings (with mini comparisons) and a few other small-scale things I picked up on Ali recently.

They look good. Has anyone found anything similar in 6mm?

There seems to be loads of interesting stuff on Ali Express - but its just trying to find search terms that work.

Yeah search terms are hard.

Here's somethign that might be close to 6mm, and really cheap.  No scale is listed, but measurements are.
