All sorts of 6mm, 15mm, and 28mm scenery items. Nothing too crazy it was just simple cost effective stuff. I really liked their Scif Fi building line (imagine buildings where each floor was a stackable item for you could build them up any way you wanted) as well as the river sections (best I've seen IMO).

Other good stuff was

http://kealios.blogspot.com/2012/03/jr- ... ruins.html and http://kealios.blogspot.com/2012/03/ano ... tures.html are two of their ruins. I have JR stuff all over the place and LOVE them.

Jimmy, I think that last building you linked was Old Crow, if Im not mistaken. Sadly, their site is under construction so I cant link it, but since I own some, Im pretty sure it isnt JR.

I really wish I had bought more stuff from JR Miniatures, especially the oil pipe lines.

Yeah you're right. This is one of the ones I was thinking of

In addition I just realized that they also were the guys that made a totally detailed scifi ship interior corridor and rooms set (think 3d Space Hulk Board). Always thought I'd buy the parts...one day.

Great news, indeed. I made a hasty "last" purchase, and instantly wish I had bought more oil pipelines.
