Until the end of the year JR Miniatures is offering free shipping on all orders, even international ones. Here's a link:

JR Miniatures

If you haven't done so already, check out their stuff.

Does anyone have or seen in person any of the following:

1:285 European Blgs catalog page

#1327 Factory Stalingrad

#1337 Gear Factory

#1341 Administrative Building

#1395 Red October Tractor Factory

From the pricing, they must by the plaster/hydrastone type.  The details on some of those are not all that great.  

Anyone actually seen the detail on these and if they would work well for Imperial buildings?

More like Ork buildings or low tech Imperial really.  Many of their castings (hydrastone I believe) is a bit off and slanted.

These are examples of JR's buildings:



Now here are my resin Stalingrad buildings from Wargamer in Poland:






No contest for me.

The Wargamer line is actually produced under licence in Europe from Leva productions out of Quebec Otterman\.

you can buy them in the US from Les Batiments which are carried by Nafziger:

They also do some decent 6mm Sci-fi buildings as well as the historicals. Those ones you might have to go through Wargamer for though since I don't think Les Batiments produce the sci-fi stuff.

I didn't know about the US distributor.  I bought mine on ebay and despite coming from Pland, shipping was pretty quick.

Wargamer products - ebay

I have a couple of the ruined buildings and they're okay.  But you get what you pay for and $5 isn't much.

I have 1341 the Administration building and it's not bad, though I haven't actually based and painted yet.  But like I said, 5 bucks.

I've bought terrain from Wargamer (Poland) and JRminiatures (of course I had to go and place my JR order last month... D'oh. Didn't know about the special offer). I am very happy with both suppliers and their prices.
Once fully painted I think the detail will be sufficient.

#1327 Factory Stalingrad


#1395 Red October Tractor Factory


#1341 Administrative Building


#1337 Gear Factory


My favourite has to be the Large Govt Building
