Our brand new near-future, Bladerunner/Cyber Punk inspired range 'Neo Sentry: Easy District', is now available for pre-orders (orders will ship 1/2/17)

We wanted to approach our first foray into sci-fi a little differently than what is already out there on the market, so decided on the Akira/Ghost in the Shell/Blade Runner lived in sort of retrofitted future look rather than the pre-fab clean lined structures that are so prevalent. We've tried to make the kits more playable also, with ladders, fire escapes, balconies and all sorts of nooks and corners to hide in. The initial range has 5 buildings, all with interior access and additional floor kits available to stack them as tall as you'd like. Also available are a bunch of detailing widget kits that can be used to super detail your buildings, or to add to existing kits in your collection to sci-fi them up a bit.

A sci-fi range is something we've been wanting to do for a long time, and we're super happy with how the initial range has turned out and excited to expand from here. Hope you like it!

.. OMG...
These are perfect for my Cyberpunk project. So cool. Fantastic detailing and depth to them. Also excellent for Rogue Stars 8)

Also would be perfect for the undersea city of Rapture in Bioshock, and for the buildings in Dark City
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Not sure if it's possible but a suggestion if I may?

I believe those buildings would look even better if you used a thinner depth of mdf for the external details.

These kits are all made from 1.8mm MDF. Any thinner and we're into card territory :)

And if you'd go thinner, chances of breakages will be much higher. Even 3mm MDF can break quickly, so under 1.8mm a fart could make them snap!

Great looking buildings but at $44 shipping for a $44 purchase far too expensive for European purchasers.
Who is the UK/European distributor?

There was a French store who sold them in Europe, run by Nicolo. Check this post:

Decors Miniatures in France ans Shiny Games in the UK both stock our products. We are also currently exploring our own distribution options in the UK this year so hopefully that will make it easier for Europrean customers and retailers

That's good news about a UK seller. I am seriously thinking about buying these now. Could use these for many different games.

The various stairs in the aftermath range look good value as they could also be painted up for Sci-Fi and used for many different things, are not a bad price yet would be extremely difficult to make something similar myself, I feel.
