We started
to play Bolt Action recently and we were looking for some cost effective
Normandy houses. I stumbled upon Timeline Miniatures and ordered a few pieces
through ebay.
The
delivery was faster than the Blitzkrieg, items were send the same day as I paid
by paypal. So thumbs up for this.

The packing
itself was OK for a small / private company, nothing to complain about. Photos
attached.
First thing
you notice is “OMG, that is huge!”. And it is. The little ruin is 7,5 x 5 inches, the bigger are 8 * 4,5 by base. The
chimney is 6 inch tall. Massive.
The quality
of lasercut is quite good, better than eg. Spartan games, the pieces go out
very easily. Again, thumbs up.

The design
of the building yells “I was made by someone
with a brain!”. At the
farmhouses, the roofs are detachable as same as first floor, so manipulation
with models inside is ok. The houses are very easy to assemble, everything fits
just as it should, so it´s a few minutes of dry fit and then a little of PVA a
voilà! Ready.
The design
of buildings , of course, is limited by technology and it does not contain such
many details as resin cast and compared to Sarrisa, they are less fancy and
detailed. But compare the price though. I was nicely surprised by a lot of manageable
details like door frames, window shutters etc. It could be better, but again –
cost effective.

The
building are quite normal to paint, if you ever worked with MDF, it should be
no problem.
So,
overall, the sets are awesome. If you are not a billionaire and you want to
start with Bolt action / Weird war, they seem perfect for Normandy. Because for
the same money you get really a thick, urban terrain.. I was surprised in a
good way and satisfied, which does not happen regularly these day and we are going
to buy a few sets from Timeline in close future…
