'Chinatown' style terrain elements?

wonder if there is a US distributor for these products. They are great, but his shipping costs are prohibitive.

I was just thinking the same thing. Sheesh. That postage is a bit much.

I wish there  were some more comparison images with minis or at least some measurements of the that Decors Miniatures site. There are some compounds which I am very interested in.

webhed,
How do you search for them on ebay? I mean under what name, category, etc? Thanks.

Took a bit of detective work, i started looking for 'balsa house' but had no luck, tried a few variations on it and didn't get anywhere either. so in the end searched for 'model house' and just scanned the listings until i found something similar (Victorian dolls house kit i think) and looked through the sellers other items till i found what i wanted.

it's a bit long winded but i thought it was something that would be on there somewhere.

if you want to find it on eBay.com I'd suggest first just copying the items name across as most of these listings appear cut and pasted.

I've ordered one of the small Japanese style houses, i'll post pictures and thoughts when it arrives.

How does it size up?
I mean, I can look at the info, but all the inches just confuses my metric brain

Many thanks Webhed and also to Nicolo for that important caveat.

I picked some of the houses and received them last week, real life keeps me quite busy this days but I had some minutes to look them, they are wrapped in plastic so you can see the pieces without open the pack.
At first look i will say they are quite simplistic on the shapes, the pattern & design on the walls are painted (looking at the photos I though they would be engraved) so if you want to paint the model will require a rework on the walls relief, roof tiles, etc.
The general cutout is simplistic, a bit in the style of those 3D puzzle for kids (in fact on ebay are announced as 3D puzzles), I would say some item inserts do not match properly and some rework will be necessary for a good assembling.
The overall impresion was of a cheap product, is not a complain, I mean you get for what you paid. They are wrapped in plastic no box, no cardboard, nothing, only a excesively and useless (and photocopied) building instructions folio.
If you love the details you have a lot of scratch work to do here, if you love the complete kids higly detailed forget about this ones.

For my plans are great, i was looking for something cheap, done in a material easy to manipulate to make a model at my own taste with removable roof etc etc, so for me are great, probably will buy some more in the future.

As soon i start working with them will post some pictures, bud sadly this will not happen on the upcoming weeks :-(

If you check the postage rates on this seller (Fitprice), it appears they are direct out of Hong Kong and offer free shipping to the US and UK at least. They also have a few other pieces:

Would love to know what the scale of that Temple of Heaven is.

mine's arrived. interestingly its been sent from a UK address, not hong-kong probably why it's only taken 3 days.

i'll have a go at assembly tomorrow, but so far i've got to agree with Donpimpom, manafacturing isn't parfect but they are cheap.

[Poiter50]

Interesting, they were on sale in our local shopping centre last Xmas but I didn't see the quadrangle one. If it fitted 28mm, it would be very useful for Asian LOTHS and BoB.
