I have. I´ve ordered several batches of them of different scales and, for
that price, quality is quite acceptable. The seller was virtualvillage
(ebay.de). The postage costs are reasonable and, at least here, when
ordered
just 2, max. 3 items (packages) at a time, there were no custom fees as
the
customs were not interrested in such a small parcel. The colors are quite
bright and include pink, orange and light green on trousers and coats, but
these can be easily overpainted where needed, of course.
The trees are mostly rather small but there are also larger ones
available.
They also sell street lamps, which are quite cheap as well. The white
street
lamps need a drop of paint being very plastic-sh but many of the black
ones
were quite good. The voltage is some 6,5 Volts but putting 2-3 lamps in
series, that is no problem.
