Title: Scenics dilemma
Post by: Malbork on 11 January 2013, 05:09:13 PM
Think this is the right place to post, but you can never be sure...

Working on two projects at the moment ECW (pendraken) and WotR (15mm) and I'm looking for suitable buildings for both periods and scales, by which I mean "sort of one size fits all". I see that several people here and elsewhere use buildings of a smaller scale than the figures (i.e. 10 mm figs with 6mm houses, 15mm figs with 10 mm houses etc), so I'm thinking of something like that, 10mm real estae to cover both conflicts; However, i'm having a bit of a job finding anything.

Can anybody maybe give me some pointers? I like Timecast but they don't seem to do anything "English" for these periods (or am I looking in the wrong place? :-\)

Off the top of my head, Hovels does some European stuff in 10mm, and also some English/Rural items in 15mm which may be worth a look.  Not sure who else is out there I'm afraid.

You could have a quick look at some of the N-scale railroad items.  There could be some older style churches or farms knocking about, although I doubt there'd be much for the WotR!

Some of the older Hovels 15mm stuff is on the small side and would probably sit fairly well with 10mm.

J&R Minis have some interesting stuff - Magister Militum stock some of their ranges although J&R did stop trading last year so not sure if they are still going

Some suitable stuff in the Mainly Military 15mm range which is too small for 15mm but just right for 10mm. Available from Plastic soldier company these days.
I'm fairly sure J&R have started up again

If you visit my blog, on the right side of the webpage you will find a group of links "teren / scenery".
They all lead to 6/10 mm buidings manufacturers.

Have a look at Magister Militum as they do 10mm buildings

Leven miniatures currently do a 6mm Medieval range

If you ask him nicely he might think about upping the scale

I'm sure Hovels do 10mm English stuff too. It's finding things for southern Europe than is a challenge.

Was away over the weekend, hence late reply :)

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Had completely forgotten about Magister Militum  :o

@ Maciek - Dziekuje, linki sa bardzo ciekawe.

May give the Spanish buildings a whirl. They look good and seem pretty cheap.
