I'm curious about the price because to be honest for very little money you can buy bass or balsa wood at the LHS or craft store and make that stuff yourself.

Everything looks great but I'm with David on this.
I just bought some basswood and balsa from my LHS with the intension of building similar kinds of bridges.
For about $10 CDN, some CA glue and a bit of carpentry, you can probably make something along the same lines.
Cheers

I agree that the bridges look like good value. The Buildings are very basic, as I say those buildings were at the time. Again it would come down to time verses price. The building would have to be a very reasonable price.
