Prices will update in your checkout based on amount in your cart - If you are over the respective UK and EU VAT thresholds we will not collect tax and the prices we show will be less - customs/post service will charge tax instead.
UK: For all orders up to £135 Brutal Cities will collect 20% VAT for the UK Government
EU: Brutal Cities is IOSS registered. This means that we will collect and pay VAT on order under 150 EUR. You will still need to pay EU customs VAT for all orders over 150 EUR.
I now work 4 days at an architectural model making business. That will leave a bit of the weekend and one day a week for Brutal Cities work for any remaining stock - so when I release the last of the stock it will likely take longer than usual as I'm no longer fulfilling from a warehouse, but my home - with less time too. But, I won't have to make the stock so I'm not sure exactly. Regardless, I will ship as soon as I can.
Generally shipping (not fulfillment) takes up to 7 business days in Australia and approx 30 worldwide. See full policy.
Send me a photo of the damaged part or product at ryan@brutalcities.com and I'll ship out a replacement to you ASAP.
If there are any issues with your products we will send out a replacement or we can refund you after the products are returned to us. We don't offer refunds for change of mind purchases. Read our full policy.
Unless you're in Australia (where I live) No sorry! This is something we're looking into but for now Brutal Cities doesn't have any international distributors.
PVA or Woodglue is the best. You can use superglue too. This is faster to dry but more brittle. PVA is usually the best because it's stronger for MDF. It also gives you time to fix any mistakes while it dries.
Even though I design the kits occasionally I have made mistakes too, but it wasn't a problem as I could still take it apart easily enough!
ALWAYS dry fit before gluing. More construction tips here on the MDF terrain instructions page.
Brutal Cities MDF is dense and high quality. I hear people going to great lengths to seal their MDF terrain with PVA, hairspray etc. I haven't found the need to. Two coats of rattlecan primer is sufficient. I like to use rustoleum flat grey (higher quality than might be necessary, however I'm usually painting the buildings grey anyway!)
Some people think they are a great price, others not. If you're in the later category, consider this;
The designs are far more flexible. You can use one set of terrain for 40k, modern skirmish games, pulp games, sci-fi games, cyberpunk games. You might want to supplement different settings with a few period-specific terrain elements, but overall you will get better value and save more time for playing games!
