This is looking very impressive. The interior reliefs are a good idea too, they personalise a building without needing additional furniture, etc. but still allow for such items to be added. As it sounds like the terrain will be more than just a movement modifier or strategic objective in terms of searching, etc. then this adds both character and aesthetic. I woukd reckon there is definitely a market for these. Although resin tends to be a first choice amongst some gamers, it's not always affordable and not always  flexible enough for some gamers and game styles (1:1 skirmish where interior play is desired or where a more modular kit of parts is required, for example). MDF is getting more common, and there are some amazing examples available but it does tend to favour certain periods more than others (ACW, FIW, Old West, etc.). This looks like it fills a niche in the post apocalyptic, zombie, pulp areas for those who want a lot of buildings, versatility in constructio and the ability to personalise and tinker. Just my initial thoughts! :)

The Interior cladding is a good idea - I was wondering about furnishings, and that would seem to be a fairly easy and cost-effective way of achieving them!

of course in a very cold post apoc world, a lot of furniture would have quickly become firewood...

That is very true, and something which had quite slipped my mind... Which is odd, seeing as it's one of the things which is stressed so often in the (book) The Road, which I'm currently reading  o_o

Very nice! and the instructions look simple enough that even some-one as cack handed at building scnery as I am should be able to get a good effect!

he is still available- you just have to order £39 worth of stuff (including p+p) and request which freebie figure you want.

I've not long just finished reading this book, so much better than the film (still as grim) but much better.

Great stuff Silent Invader this is coming along nicely, I actually like the look of the mock up boards but I can't explain why.
