Hi,
Here is a nice new building line which show promise (to me at least):

http://www.gamecraftminiatures.com/shop ... eries.aspx

I've bought from him a couple of times for my 1:72 scale modelling, and service is great.

What do you think? I don't have a clue on how the price range is compared to other options today, but I think I'll get some of these soon.
Cheers,
Eyal.

Those look really, really good. You don't seem to bet many for $20 though, given that they are made from card?

I was going to comment on his lack of road options but I see they have improved greatly since the last time I looked at the site. I still wish there was a 2 land to 4 land adapter piece and maybe some other end options and then a complete dirt road kit with transition piece....then I'd be happy..er. ::) :D

All the best,

Hi!

I just ordered a large quantity of this line to cap off my epic terrain collection.

Since the tiles and roads are made of plexiglass, so what type of paint should be used? Acrylics?

Any suggestions on what to use (as well as colors) is appreciated.

I like to use RustOleum Lt Grey automotive primer and then you can go on top of that with anything you like. As a matter of fact the grey you see in that photo I posted is just the grey primer ... then I used acrylic railroad colors (Polly Scale) for the streets (Oily Black), sidewalks (Aged Concrete) and other accents. The main color is just the spray primer though.

If you use a good primer like that there is no prep work needed at all other than maybe a quick wash to make sure there is not oil from your hands on the parts. You could scuff up the the plastic a little with 320 or 400 grit sandpaper to insure a real good surface for the paint to "bite" into, but that falls into the optional/suggested category.

P.S. Your order will be on it's way to you probably tomorrow.
