I saw these and thought of competition times, or when you just want a really good urban base for a single mini or vignette, even a small diorama. There are a range of shapes and sizes, suitable for LotR, WH40K and other fantasy type minis in the 25-30, maybe even 40mm size range.
I plan to use these for my latest backlog, Discworld minis.
Well worth a look:
