Went in because the wife needed something, and found this:

What on earth is that, i hear you say!
Well, as usual, action stores are three months early with their christmass decorations ;D ;D ;D
I always have a look to see what i can salvage for the greater wargaming good, and came across the above item.
It's this little one right here:

a quick glance made me believe the house would fit a 10 mm model, and at 1,99€ the price was quite good. A bonus is that the casing can also be used to display a model.
started cutting and got this:

Only work it needs is to fill in the sides of the house, because it sports a christmass tree

I believe they carry the same stuff in every action store in Belgium, maybe in other countries too, in case you are interested in cheap houses!
Took a picture for comparison with a pendraken house:

Good find and very tempting, Peter - but stay focused! :P If it's very, very cheap - perhaps, 'yes.' :-\
Otherwise - 'no!' Stick to the 'real thing' by Pendraken (going by the doors, looks more 6mm to me). :D
I'm always focused on my 20 (or so) projects. This is cheap filler terrain for towns.

If it was cheap, I'll let you off then. ;) ;D
Excellent find!
To fill the sides, cereal box with pre cut windows? ;)

I'll have a rummage first. I know i have some leftover chimneys from the above pendraken buildings. Maybe i got some windows somewhere?
Action are great! I get storage, glue and a crazy cheap painters palet there (39 cents).

Yes, they have great pva style glue that i use for flock, and their acrylic paint tubes are great for scenery projects (not to mention their cement texture paint)
I use their toolboxes to store counters and organise my boardgames too!
