Plast Craft Scale Up Their Awesome WWII Buildings To 28mm!
February 6, 2015 by brennon
Previously the line-up of World War II buildings from Plast Craft have been in 15 and 20mm, designed for games like Flames of War for example. Their new raft of cool looking pieces however are scaled up to 28mm and are looking awesome, perfect for Bolt Action and more!
Above you can see what all the different buildings look like and yes, you will be getting a big warehouse in the line-up! I love the look of the houses and I think the detailing on the brick work and such is an awesome boon. But, that's not all. You can look inside all of these buildings!
As you can see the various floors are detailed with wooden levels and you even get some cool staircases within too. This is great for use in skirmish scenarios and such where your troops need to take control of certain levels of a building. The roof of the Warehouse also comes off showing it's cavernous insides. I'd say that's perfect for a centrepiece in the middle of the battlefield and well worth filling with scatter terrain.
But the fun doesn't stop there. Each of the houses has a 'Ruin' footprint which you can see above as a base meaning that when you've blasted apart the building or just want to create some different looking play spaces then you can pop them off and just leave them as blasted out cover. It would be cool to have a huge 6x4 table where some of it is ruins and the rest is still untouched by the war.
The range of buildings from Plast Craft is growing and looking great to us. We've really been in the World War II and Bolt Action mode right now and fighting a lot of battles in 28mm so these would be perfect. I like that each of the houses is a different design too meaning that you don't have a lot of carbon copy dwellings on the tabletop.
We're assuming this is the same PVC material that we've seen from Plast Craft in the past and that's no bad thing. They've made great leaps and strides with this stuff and it's very good indeed.
What do you think?

My credit card just started crying…..
My wallet has a ruins footprint…
Superb
So many potential uses
Looks top notch
I’ll have to sell my body for this 🙁
Actually, plastcraft is very reasonable 🙂
Yeah, as long as they don’t sell those buildings individually. I hope they make a bundle like in the 20mm range :'(
Going to need this
I belive I’ve got to start looking for a second or possible even a third job…
Those are really good.
Looks great! My wallet is safe until they release 15mm versions, however.
I think the 15mm are already out, and they are now doing 28mm as well
Sensible buildings that aren’t freakin mdf? Be still my beating heart.
210% YES!
As PlastCraft are based just up the road from my club they are putting out 3 tables of this for our Bolt Action tournament tomorrow 🙂
Get some pictures – or it did not happen; )
Looks like I’ll be joining the line of those with crying credit cards and bank accounts. Dang shiny syndrome anyway. 🙂
I have been begging for this since they put up the 15mm ones…
Suggestion – ask Plascraft to contribute some of their pieces to the BOW BA Boot Camp so people can see them in action (pun intended).
Why aren’t these on the website yet so I can throw money at them?
Good stuff!
LOVE to see these in a how-to video guys!
Any word on an ETA with the 28mm version?
I have no experience with Plast Craft buildings. Are the non-ColorED buildings molded in color or are they all grey plastic requiring paint?
