They look good to me. The only thing missing that I can spot are the chimneys. Not difficult to add, I guess, but it would be better if they could be included - if only as an add-on bulk pack.  :-\

I think they look nice and 5 for £12 is a good price. I'd agree with the comments about chimneys, but then I've got a lot of card building and never bothered adding chimneys to them either.

The floor inserts - as the buildings include bases, I'm figuring the inserts are to represent the 1st floor - if so, how are they supported inside?

One of the problems I have with 10mm buildings is they're too small to move figures around inside, and none of mine (all paper folded types) have an upper floor.

they are the same dimension as the internal size of the building so you just slide them to were you want them inside and apply glue and the thickness of the wood is enough to keep it there

its big enough to fit bases up to around 30mmx40mm


Ill add chimneys soon when I get a free moment to design them, if I can squeeze them onto the same piece of wood as the buildings there won't be any extra charge

Hmm... If the buildings were made with removable roofs, plus good solid location blocks to lift the whole thing off the base, you could use both ground & 1st floor. 

Fiddly, though...

A couple of new buildings in the 28mm range to show, these are available now

The Tech Centre
A medium sized building with loads of detail and options to have door/windows open or covered


The Battle Base
A very large building coming in 5 parts, options of open/closed doors.

Some interesting stuff there.  You've some way to go to begin to touch 4Ground's quality though.

Is Pendraken considering stocking these or are you just using their forum to run your sales?

But 4 Ground ignores 10mm! >:(

Hertsblue

How about converting some of the houses into shops? Shouldn't be too much of a redesign.

As for 4Ground, it's a lot easier to get detail onto bigger models, surely?

Could be doing with just a touch more detail around doors & windows, mind you. There's no door frame and no indication of a window sill.

True but their 15mm stuff matches 10mm OK.  Some chaps had them at my club for a WWII game - looked splendid!!

Thank you all for the feedback and as Leon said he will be taking them on, on his website Minibits and shows.

There will be more 10mm to come, shops are a good idea, and I'm working on some bunkers at current should see them shortly

If their 15mm stuff is nearer 10mm that makes them quite expensive (IMHO, others may have a different view).
