Way more realistic than worldworks for a modern setting. Though i think the scale is too small for 28mm.

Anyone used any of them? When you increase scale for printing is detail lost?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

They are available in 0 scale. That is American to match 1/48th scale (slightly different in Europe). Would be great for 28mm miniatures as most of them are about 40mm from head top to base bottom.

I totally agree with Michi, American 0 Scale, (that's 1:48) and 1:50 scale very well with heroic 28mm. Just watch out for the country the model comes from. European 0 Scale would be 1:43 which would turn out a little bit to big (but gives you more room to place your minis if you want to do interiors)

Thanks for the help guys. There texture are amazing compared to the paid wargaming papercraft out there. Alot more expensive though as well.
