If you are looking for a wharf or docks for your miniatures check out Lemax Plymouth Corners collection.

I bought one this weekend and it works great with 28mm Pulp Figures.

Very nice, straight from any Disney Movie ever set in New England. :lol:

Really, I like them. Would the scale fit 28mm (I assume so, since you bought some, but would you care to elaborate?)

Yep, 28mm works very well with the wharf and docks.

There is a Lemax distributor in The Netherlands for those of you in Europe, and I believe there is also one for Canada as well.

If I think of it I will snap some photos of the wharf with some of my Pulp Figures and post them tonight.

Cheers,

I'll hit the local Big Box craft shop and see if they've got it in stock. If they have multiples, I'll ship them to you poor backwater Europeans. I promise to charge just under $92.00 shipping.  :wink:

Real question...Does anyone know how a company can charge such an outlandish price for shipping to Europe?  It's not like these things weigh a ton.
And I thought some eBay sellers were bad about profiting from shipping!

I think just have a rotten P&P quoting algorithm built into their webstore.

What are these made from?  Hard plastic?  Ceramic?  

Would I be able to cut the edges off of two docks and glue them together to form one larger dock?

The docks are made of wood and although I haven't tried to cut them I don't see as how that would be a problem.

Scale is an issue with anything from Lemax. Some of the stuff works well with 28-30mm, the docks, many of the graveyard accessories, and some of the buildings. However, much of stuff is either too large or too small for 28-30mm. The firures for instance are all way too big for 28-30mm and some of the buildings are too small.

I posted a photo in the Gothic Horror Forum Dixie Culpepper and the Alford Mansion that shows a 28mm Pulp Figure with the Lemax Alford Mansion from thier Spooky Town line. I will try to get a photo of the wharf with some figures posted tonight.

Hope this helps,
Troll
