Nice painting.
Do you have any pictures with figures for size comparison? Do you think they're worth the money? How did they go together?

Thanks Paul!
The figures in the Mean Streets gallery are photgraphed against the rear of the buildings before I painted them! They don't assemble: the body of the building is a hollow casting and the roof seperate. You add on the extras if you buy them like skylights, roof top access doors or the watertower, the latter having no instructions for assembling the 'wooden' support struts!

My only real issue was whether or not the windows were meant to be cast with 'glass panes' in place or open, as some were solid cast and some paper thin resin, or missing altogether. The figures from Pulp Miniatures look really good against the buildings and the scale seems just right to me.

On a different tack, has anyone bought the 'extra floors' on offer, as without pictures I can't work out which goes with which building!
