"Foot Print" for a 10MM House

[GrumpyOldMan]

Hello CL

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone scratch builds their 10MM buildings? In an attempt to keep costs down I would like to try to make a few peasant huts for Eastern Europe. The door size I got from this forum...roughly 15X6MM but what would you recommend for wall lengths and floor heights?

Thanks in advance.

If you're looking to keep costs down and have a printer, you can look at using card/paper buildings. There is a Russian Shed

at http://www.tamiya.com/japan/products/87078bond/house.pdf which is 2.6M and 1/35 but if you shrink it to .24 of the original it would be about the right size. You can add doors and windows to make a shack. Have a look at http://hamapaper2.zouri.jp/thumblink2/thumb55.html the struck through captions mean a model is no longer available.

Be careful looking around for paper models, there are some pirate sites that can do damage to your computer if you're not careful.

Also there are some pdfs you can buy and scale down as well:-

Thanks once again for the information, I will definatley be searching for the articles! The Mongols are a strange bunch-I think I have a fear thing going on with them....never even played against them in DBA as they give me the creeps-the original dark army!

The links are perfect thanks Grumpy, I have saved the hoouse which I will print out and the Japanese (?) site is a fantastic resource if one needs to build anything-literally everything is on there.

For once I am being overwhelmed with information which is a great motivator!

Can I ask how long an order usually takes to arrive? I am due to be away for a few days every now and then (also a visit to Thailand) and so a rough guide will tell me when not to order!

Thanks again!

I believe there was an old woman who had a very good footprint for a house.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She said "On my income, it's all I can do.
It may be sub-standard, but just down the block
I know an old woman who lives in a sock."

(not my own, alas)

When I were a young  'un all we had to live in was an old newspaper used to wrap chips in. You were lucky to have a sock. (If I knew how to do it I would now provide a You Tube link to the relevant MP sketch).
