Here is the table from my last game: It's a mix of papercraft terrain from ebbles miniatures, red knight entertainment and toposolitario

The multi-storey block buildings are from www.rkegames.com/The set costs $12, which seems reasonable to me. As per instructions in the set i printed at 70% scaling for 15mm. Construction was extremely easy even with the scaling. Pros: 12 designs, each in three different variants (3,4 or 5 storeys) + 1 design with no variants. Extremely fast to build (took about 4-5 hours to construct the 13 buildings on the table here). Stores completely flat, the roof comes off and the base then collapses completely flat. The only modification I mad was to put posterboard on the inside of the roofs for extra support when placing minis on the roof. Cons: They buildings are rather dark, I cranked up the brightness to maximum when printing to not use too much toner. If I could I would have gone further, but that would have required editing and an actual time investment. The trucks, silos and bubble houses are from ebbles miniatures. He doesn't seem to sell directly through his site anymore : www.ebblesminiatures.com/But we can hope his excellent work will be made available through worldworksgames at some point (I think he sold his existing designs to them). The ebbles stuff was scaled to 70% to fit scalewise and was quite fiddly and time consuming. Pros: looks really good Cons: no longer purchasable, fiddly to construct The single story rectangular prefab housing is from www.toposolitario.com/workshop/ikube.htmlI scaled this like the other stuff. Pros: FREE, easy to construct, stores flat Cons: that there isn't more of it

I popped by WorldWorksGames, and they are actually selling some of the old Ebbles stuff like The farmstead: www.worldworksgames.com/store/index.php?view=product&product=193Those are really nice models but as mentioned before quite fiddly, especially once you scale them to 15mm size. If I remember correctly I scaled the houses, greenhouses and sheds but not the solar collector or moisture collector.
