Never seen this product line before, but I like the looks of it:

Yeah, I've seen those before, too. He has others that are just as cool,
including a refinery with dual cracking towers that is very sweet indeed.
Unfortunately, the prices (and shipping!) are just too steep for me.

On a side note, I've been experimenting with making my own DS sci-fi
bunker-houses using ice-cube trays and Hydrocal.  Dress up the inside of
the cubes with bits of card and whatnot, then pour in the plaster, and the
next day you can pop out a small, squarish building perfect for a
Mos Eisley-style dwelling.  Cheap as anything and you can make a dozen
at a time.

That's evil clever. I like using the plastic forms that are used to hold small
objects in packaging, dress and paint them up and they make serviceable
buildings.

Very nice looking, and fun to play "spot the kit piece" too. I recognize about
a quarter of the parts they used from recent kitbashing attempts.

The most clever is the roof of the bunker with the big gun-or-crane, it
looks like they pressed in airplane tires (from an F-14 I believe) while
the clay was still soft.

Clever indeed. It's a gun, actually, a planetary defense battery.

You might want to look into a company called Leva Productions (
http://www.geocities.com/levaproductions/levamain.html ) and JR
Miniatures ( http://jrminiatures.net/page/103gk/Catalog.html ) for stuff

in North America. In particular, I believe that Leva is using the same molds
as the Polish guys... I don't know who's pirating what however, but I believe
that nice cracking tower is made by Leva as well. I know it's a geocities
website, but these guys are the real deal (they distro stuff through a local
hobby shop of mine).
