I've decided to post a couple of short reviews of scenics on my blog.
Some will be Pendraken's, but majority won't so I put a thread here.

For the start - some 18th century buildings from Time Cast.

More info on my blog.

Hmm. Nice buildings and well painted, but for my money - too small. I always find myself measuring the figures against the size of the doors. And these are far too large to fit through.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

I'ts part of never ending discussion - to use buildings "to scale" or smaller.
Being involved in big scale games I prefer smaller buildings - a whole Blindheim village is 10x20cm on my tabletop.
Also, look at all games posted here by Mollinary or Cameronian. They also use 6mm scale buildings.

But to scale a 10mm cottage model covers as much ground as a palace.
I don't drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.

Must admit i use 15mm buildings because the figures seem to visibly fit, but yes actual ground scale is a different matter.

Yes, it's the old ground scale v. figure scale conundrum. If they were equal you'd need the Albert Hall to refight a reasonably large battle. Nevertheless, I still prefer my buildings to be the "right" size.
