review by Dick Bryant
The Dwarven Stonecutter, PO Box 36091,Towsen, MD 21204, sells a line of card, assemble-them-yourself buildings complete with destroyed versions of each building. These are also in 15mm and 1/300 scale and perfect examples of "sweat Equity" for this hobby. They cost less than the cast buildings but require careful assembly. The fact that they are already painted probably means that you save some time there and of course the paint job is perfect. DS also represents the LINKA SYSTEM in the USA, a range of moulds for making buildings and other scenery paraphernalia that has not received enough attention among wargamers. Ideal for 25mm, this system is used for the very realistic scenery of model railroaders, dioramists and architectural model builders. The cost is very low for the flexibility and wide range of items one can design using a few 33 moulds. Send $3 for their 54 page catalog. More Reviews
