I find they fit right in once you drop them on a table.

Anyway, they were very very easy to cut to size and glue down (using a hot glue gun) , so that was a plus for me!!

Cheap as chips; easy to cut to size; what's not to like  :)
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Dunno, the fact you can never have enough hedges and walls whatever you try, you always seem to miss a couple  :d

see, always a gap around the field somewhere  ;D

Well, you've got to get in and out of it somehow.  ;)

Well that's what the big gap a few inches further was for  ;D



As you can see, never enough hedges on that board!

Love those; what you based them on  ;)

Just cardboard cut to shape and painted the same as my bases. I make the base such an irregular shape, because that way you can easily make corners. If you don't make te ends of the base much smaller, you get huge gaps between hedge pieces.

15mm WWII stuff.

I spent about $350 on it, one of my first wargames purchases.  Spent months painting it all up, played a couple games, didn't like how it looked, rebased it, didn't like how it looked, gave it away.

A few years go by, PSC comes out with their plastic 15mm stuff, I bought about $300 worth.  Painted some up, primed some more, got sick of it and gave it away.

Now I just bought a boatload of 20mm...
