Really great looking multi genre cardboard terrain from Russia
« on: September 17, 2019, 01:10:23 AM »
I just came across this review on Youtube and thought I'd better share it here!

I took a look at the manufacturer's website and they've got very nice buildings and vehicles ranging from medieval to wild west to modern and scifi. Am actually quite amazed.

That does indeed look nice, I’ve taken the liberty of linking to the site here: http://www.rubrand.com/category/terrain/?scale%5B%5D=144&material%5B%5D=183

The pricing looks very decent too, needs more investigation for when I finally decide how to do my buildings for the Zombie Apoc.

There's a load of this stuff on eBay for cheap as well - haven't tried any of it yet.  They also have a number of ships which look pretty reasonable.

Those look awesome! I like the warm colours and the illustration style as if out of 1980s childrens' history books (not too grimdark or whatever). Remind highly of Warhammer Townscape (link) and of the similar 2D flat carboard characters that came with the WFB2.

I've been using these building for several years.  They are extremely easy to build and inexpensive.   I did a review on my blog here:

Sadly, the Russia-best website that used to have them incredibly cheap has disappeared but, as noted above, there are a number of different sources.

The ships are very nice as well and easy to build and rig.  I've got some pictures of them from a couple of 16th century fantasy games I've used them in:

Bought the ruined castle for $16 including shipping as a test to see how they look in real life. But I must say I love the designs. The aquarelle type colouring looks lovely and dreamy.

some of this is the Umbum stuff - I've got a couple of their ships. They're excellent, although I would say a little smaller than genuinely 28mm in scale?
having said that, maybe they've scaled them up a bit.

I bought the Cog, it's a really nice ship. I've got another ship and a building to work on.
