Primarily could be used for Cold War and Future War Commanders as the buildings are modern looking. Though in a pinch perhaps a pre-bombed German or Russian city for Blitzkrieg.

http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/hawk-wargames/dro...

This Set contains;
- 20 Card Buildings - Pre-cut and folded
- 24 Double-sided Card Terrain Tiles - each being 1ft square

Order mine last Friday and eagerly awaiting its arrival sometime this week. Considering getting a second for more built up areas and denser cities.

If only it was 6mm (or 15mm) and not 10mm :(

Too rich for my wallet - much like the mini's! Shame as they're pretty nice!

I applied for a mortgage to buy the resin ones, but was turned down Grin

It looks great and at 6mm I'd be very intersted.

Good inspiration too for trying to work out your own cities and towns.

At £27 on discount it's getting tempting, but as I don't do 10-12mm for sci-fi...

I'm sure it would work just fine for 6mm. If these are supposed to represent large office block type structures then if anything they would have been scaled back for 10mm.

At a 1/300 scale even a moderate high rise model building should be about 30cm in height. These look like they are about 10-15cm tall.

Once though we should have an attack on a power station, until we realises the cooling towers would be 1 foot wide and 2 feet high each.

A lot of the buildings can be downloaded from the Hawk Wargames website.

They are set up to print as 10mm on A4 but I'm sure someone can tell me how to rescale to 6mm!....please?.....pretty please??

Halve the dimensions for 1/150 to 1/300th? Ish Wink

Although from what Luke says above they'd look decent "as is"...

Wayland has the Dropzone set for 27 pounds and my credit card finger is itching. Just wanted to see some actual purchaser reports though, regarding assembly, the bases, etc.

Why not download the free building files? They are designed to be printed on A3, but are perfect for 6mm when printed on A4.

If I was buying it'd be direct from the supplier.

I wouldn't give my money to Wayland not even if they were the last wargames retailer on the face of the planetEvilEvil

Their customer service is worse than 'sucks'

They lie like cheap NAAFI watchesEvil

Take a trip to Poundland or the Works first, get some crayons, paint in black & white have a fun afternoon colouring them in!

Stay between the lines now :P

Sorry to hear that. I've ordered from them a couple of times and they were OK - maybe I was lucky? Huh?

I ordered my Cityscape from Wayland games on a Saturday and received it on the following Tuesday but also my experience with them buying Bretonnian Knight of the Realm in bulk has always been okay and got my stuff within a week.

Anyway the cityscape itself is high quality, all the ground tiles are double sided although some more variations would have been nice but you can get a good road network going. The buildings themselves warp slightly with construction/deconstruction if you don't glue or staple the tabs together. I take my city various places so having them mobile and flat is much easier.

For 6mm I would say the buildings are slightly too large. 10mm is perfect as it was designed to be in that scale anyway but overall a good look. 15mm models look too big, kind of like comparing regular 28mm with GW 28mm. The box it comes in isn't the strongest so alternate storage for the components is needed.
