No, but it is definitely on my "must have" list!

it is cheap indeed, but the quality is mediocre! :-\

I think it is a really nice tabletop piece, but you have to make shure that it looks like the other you have. otherwhise you will have a single piece with not a great appeal... just more scenery =)

It really depends on your needs! :)

Could you explain a bit more, why the quality is mediocre? Did you buy one?

no, but i think that from the photos is quite easy to see the problems (maybe if you had some resin casting and master sculpting you can see them better!)

- the windows are made in a single layer sculpt, everything made from a 1mm (i guess) piece of materials, with no details added, no nails or handles, and the wooden pieces are a bit thick. Also, there are no windows sill, and everything is in fact quite flat.

- the wooden surfaces are sculpted with the wooden grain really unrealistic: something similar to gw ones, but the traits are much less "wise": if you choose to drybrush them you'll find the too-explicit wooden lines, you have to work on them a lot to make them work properly!


it is not a bad piece, and if you want a whole town without scratchbuilding anything you can also have this, because the price is good. But i think that if you scratchbuild one, and invest your money only in windows and doors, maybe from and architectural online shop (much better details, IMHO), you'll have much greater results...

As i said before, it depends on your needs =)
