10mm buildings....resin or paper

[Ithoriel]

Or go the 6mm resin route.

Wendy Houses

But go it anyway. 6mm buildings look fine with 10mm figures and give a smaller footprint, viz:



Some of those shown are paper as well and have seen active service over the past 20 years. They seem to do ok once they are based.

Wendy Houses

At my age, the Peter Pan option has its appeal!

[Leman]

I'm beginning to get a little worried about Ithoriel's obsession with Wendy. He is rumoured to be shadowing her.

[toxicpixie]

I think he's actually just interested in her house. He is an estate agent or double glazing salesman, right?

[Leman]

Whatever he is, his ideas should be panned.

[Ithoriel]

You know what they say, small houses, small ... minds

Just looks weird to me.

I normally use the correct scale houses but cannot see a problem with  having houses a scale smaller works well, particularly for big battles, otherwise the villages, farms can be to close to each other.

So I suppose you could say I am in both camps


Perhaps Ithoriel needs to have "big houses" in the same way some men need "big cars"

[Ithoriel]

I need my houses and .... cars in proper proportion

But not the number of men in your units?  We all make compromises somewhere - leaving aside your cars  . How big are your houses on the horizontal scale?

That's pretty much my argument in a nutshell. If your battalions are 24 figures strong then a single house model is a village of around 30 - 40 buildings.

So, 10mm figures, 10mm houses. 6mm figures, 6mm houses. 28mm figures ... too big, way too expensive and take up too much room on table and off  

[mollinary]

Interesting!  I could no more have a single building represent a village than I could have a single figure represent a battalion.  Each to their own.  A propos of nothing, how tall are your trees, and how many make a wood?   

Mollinary

[Ithoriel]

Trees are ... tree sized. Anything from 15' or so up to 100' to scale normally.

One tree is a small copse, several trees are a wood.
