Good to know Daniel. I'll take another look at my MBS catalogue. I'm looking for some cut stone and brick to Build the Culverhouse cannery. Right now I'm experimenting with some MBS tree kits I bought at Milwaukee. Th plastic armatures are more detailed than the Woodland scenics and the foliage material is an interesting texture.

I suspect the end result will have a lot to do with how well the modeller paints and weathers the material. What intrigues me about this company is that they offer sheets in 1/6th scale...very close to OO and a lot closer to S than the 1/8th and 1/4 inch scale sheets offered by the architectural supplier I was looking at here in Canada. If I were you, I'd send away for a couple of sheets to experiment with. The 15" square sheets will produce a decently large building in S without having to worry about butt joints along the side. I've got a couple of structure projects coming up, so I'm going to bookmark this company and take a closer look myself.

I've found pictures of large scale projects that look good. I was wondering how the material looks in the smaller scales. Some of the similar stuff from Plastruct is not very sharp, and these sheets are larger.
