I assumed being a mission it was located in one of the Spanish colonies and therefore had absorbed some of the indigenous architectural style.

Only if the indigenous culture is fairy (as in the other world meaning of the word)  :o that we are talking about.   lol

Not at all appealing to me for any game even remotely semi-historical.

Brillant work but I'd have to sell it off if gifted with one.   :'(

YMMV.

Garcias,   ;)

Since a lot of pirate figures and ship models are a bit cute and fantasy oriented anyway, I'd say this company's products fit in very well here on the swashbuckling thread.  The 28mm figures most of us love aren't anymore anatomically correct than these cute buildings.  The overall effect might be less cute if mixed into a town with some rougher worse-for-wear buildings and other bits.  A lot of the buildings I'll be using will be scratchbuilt by a friend in trade for some figures that he wants from me.  But I think this stuff would mix in well to represent the more beautiful parts of my sordid Spanish or Italian towns.  Since that Spanish mission set as a whole is priced less than $300, it's something I think I'll aspire to.  Gives me motivation to make more money...

Those northern European style buildings are certainly cute, but Three Musketeers seems to be a cute genre to me anyway.  At least the movies seemed cute.  And the figures are also cute.  Again, could mix in some rougher more gritty buildings and stuff to tone down the overall cute effect.

Great to see these lines expanding so much.  Maybe the WW2 terrain will be grittier, if the company takes note of the feedback here.

What material are these terrain pieces cast from?  Are they resin?

Like I said on TMP, the mission walls themselves are not particularly bad, really it's just the gates.  Replace them and it's perfect.  The rest of the line is also a bit ostentatious, if not lovely.

I tend to agree that it's all a little too Disneyland. The Medieval tomb might be a nice setting for a Regency or Victorian ersatz Gothic scenario - i.e. a duel or cult ritual. And the Medieval church might pass as a Balkan church with elements of Middle Eastern.

Disneyland!  Exactly!  Thanks for the word.

Yes, quite nice as a Fantasy piece though.

Sigh, maybe the grognard in me is too prominent lately.  I really wanted to be tempted enough to buy this.

But the craft in the structure is waaaay ahead of my abilities.

Gracias,

Glenn
