I want to start a relatively small (on a couple levels!  ) WW2 project based around the Normandy landings and breakout.  My preferred scale (obviously) would be 10mm, using Pendraken's figures, but Im having a hard time finding Norman town buildings (I thinking similar to what they have over at Najewitz Modellbau link in 1/72 or the 6mm stuff they do over at Leven Miniatures link)

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Im leaning toward 6mm, mainly because of Leven Miniatures, but thats not really what I want to do!

I use Leven; they look really good with lots of 10mm figures around them.

I had the same question.  I have a couple TimeCast modern things that I like.  It looks like a lot of their French stuff is more farm-y and townhome-y.  Is that correct?

Oh, and thanks for all of the quick replies!

Just to know.

Nah, Im American, but I have a strong Italian heritage.  Do you know of some DeLeonardis' around Rome?

Nope.

Just an Italian name.

And me desperate to find opponents.

You might try Hovels - They do a French range

Bear in mind that the outskirts of most towns, wherever situated, are generally made up of farms and single houses.

Hi,
Try Paper Terrain good value and appearance.

A 12mm/N scale option is Jerry's Hobby Junction, under European structures.  I use them with my 10/12mm figures.

Haven't seen those Jerry's ones before - they are very nice looking, and lots of variety. But I suspect shipping and VAT will be a bit expensive.

I came across a manufacturer in Germany who was doing really nice things in various scales - 6mm, 15mm, 1/72 and 28mm. He has now concentrated on the two larger scales but he arrnaged with a German model shop to keep producing the 6mm. There are a few normandy buildings and they are a bit bigger than Leven (although their Cafe Gondree is tiny for some reason). Worth a look, suitable buiding in these two categories:
