Experiences with Dropzone Commander Cityscape?

[Battle Brush Sigur]

Heyhey, I'm looking into terrain for playing with my Giant Robot Toys(tm). They're about 13mm tall, at a 1/144th scale. Naturally I'm looking into 10mm terrain, and possibly getting it for cheap, because I'm not even sure if I can find good rules and if gaming with such huge figures works at all.

So I ran across Dropzone Commander's cardboard Cityscape. As far as I hear TTCombat released a reworked version when they took over. Either way, 20 buildings for EUR 35,00 or so sounds like a steal, especially since it comes with those poster things to put on. They can't be much worse than the WARBEAST foldable cardboard terrain I got in that kickstarter. Anyway, does anyone of you have experiences with that set? Especially so if you maybe supplement the thing with some of TTCombat's 10mm sci-fi/modern MDF buildings, maybe a few potted trees in the park, a few little 10mm sci-fi cars andso on?

I hear the buildings are pretty good, but the tiles/posters for the floor are very thin? I'd be thankful for any input. Cheers!

I've found the buildings to be great value, but as you say, the maps are rather flimsy.

Not a problem per se, but they come folded, and the creases prevent them from lying perfectly flat.

I've seen many people strengthen their buildings with thickrr cardboard on the inside. Also, I've seen some great results with the maps being glued onto thick cardstock. Some even cut out the sidewalks and glued an extra layer of card underneath them. This simulated curbs and streets extremely well. It's a small addition, but it adds loads to the visual appeal.

Oh; and matt varnish spray the lot to take away the sheen!

Cheers, many thanks for the input! Yeah, I thought that maybe gluing them to something heavier might be in order. Maybe I'll just take the plunge; that's a pretty darned good value on that set and might help me ease into yet one more size for sci-fi.
