It could be good for Napoleonic, WWII, etc. It looks like you get 3 of the buildings shown for £35, or rather the components to build them.

Thanks for posting, this passed me by, didn't notice it on their newsletter!

Good value if you can make all three buildings.

Post by: joroas on February 23, 2012, 06:36:47 PM: I'm assuming its three of each, so 6 buildings at least.

But still potentially highly useful.

Post by: Elk101 on February 26, 2012, 11:07:54 AM: I might be wrong but I figured you just got three of the sprues? If the photos are indicative of what you can make from a sprue, that would be three of the large buildings and three of the smaller ones. As Prof. W says, being plastic there should be scope for relatively easy conversions.

As one who is challenged by such kits,
is there an instruction sheet with them. lol
