Another step towards getting a game set up, terrain hexes. About does it for 10mm, a few more buildings perhaps:
A good place for an ambush, 'if you go down in the woods...'

Some more on da blog thingy.
Nice! I always like to see little scenic dioramas rather than just a couple of things plunked own on the table (though I'm guilty of that too).
Good work on those!
Really nicely done!
When I first looked at the pic of the cottage my impression was that you were using pentagonal tiles! :)
That would have been very Escherian.
Thanks chaps. Rules next :-SS
I too appreciate a nicely thought out piece of scenery.
Nice!
Especially like the bridge piece!
Many thanks again :)

Good impact and low storage solution.
Nice.

Comments appreciated comrades.
I'm going to have to do something similar for 1/72 as most of my armies are in that scale. Problem is building scale, 15mm or bigger? Tending toward 15mm due to available ranges and prices that won't frighten the horses. I think they'll also fit a 3ftx3ft or 3ftx4ft table and leave room for the other scenery and the troops.
All right-thinking people go down a step for the scale of their buildings. How many times does it need to be explained? ;)
As a right thinking person I use the same down step in painting skill.
Interesting you should say that. There's a similar discussion going on in another forum but opinion there is that the buildings MUST correspond to the figure scale. But then again it's an all-plastic forum and they have some weird ideas anyway.
15mm sold.

The battle to seize the enemy's Wendy Houses is apparently never ending.

BUT ..... the 1/72 Airfix farmhouse is classic!
There is a religious propaganda poem/homily entitled 'Footprints'.
I play skirmish scale where 1 figure = 1 man, so building scale really MUST match mini scale (otherwise they wouldn't fit inside, apart from everything else...) However, where the figures don't have that 1:1 representation, and, therefore, the figures on the bases are themselves out of scale, I can see the use of smaller buildings being sensible.
Words of wisdom, indeed.
Don't worry, I'm in my benign mode.
Right, after hacking away the dead wood :P the consensus would appear to be:
use 10mm for 10mm,
15mm for the rest,
28mm skirmish, use 28mm.
Wait a minute, what about 1/32, 1/35, 1/54, 1/48, 1/16, 1/12 et al? I know play on floor and use house. Old style Kreigspeil. :d
Great concept, especially the impassable terrain pieces, will steal and adapt.
