What scale of buildings do you use for IHMN ?
28mm is correct, but choices seem limited.
0 Railway scale are probably too big (and expensive) while 00 Railway scale are more available, but are they too small ?
Thoughts appreciated

There are dozens of companies that make fantastic buildings in 28mm...4Ground being a favorite, there is Miniature Building Authority, Game Craft, Anisty, and even, dare I say? GamesWorkshop. Also look towards you local pet store for fish tank scenery...
-
Gamecraft - OK, but US based so postage +30% taxes takes it out of my pocket
4Ground - are you kidding ? £40 GBP for a single terraced house ?
MBA - OK for building a village but again US based so postage +30% taxes takes it out of my pocket
Ainsty - better, but no period stuff and I really wanted to create a street environment without a lot of messing about with foamboard
Any more ?

I saw a lot of different buildings available at Salute but most were unrealistically priced.
I did however pick up a bunch of buildings from Warbases - 28mm scale, main buildings in the teen £s but lots of modular add-ons for under a fiver too. Based in Scotland so no extra tax (unless they secede).
Here's some - http://war-bases.co.uk/BUILDINGS/MULTI-28MM (http://war-bases.co.uk/BUILDINGS/MULTI-28MM)
Hope that helps.

Dare I suggest Sarissa - Gaslamp Alley
Terrace House - £15 - with yard wall and coal bunker £22.50

I spotted the Gaslamp Alley stuff earlier this evening.
The Oshiro is also interesting but it needs photos to entice me more ;)

The only one from a quick search is this pub frontage with unfinished brickwork above. I'll dig some more out tomorrow :)

Some of those are 1/48th, are they too big ? ???
I confess I'm at a loss as to why no-one makes a block of terraced houses.
The single most common building in a town or city, and yet everyone makes single dwellings ?

I bought a couple but so far have only been collecting bits to convert them.

Sarrisa does. It's in the WW2 section!

I've seen the Oshiro ones first hand in a Victorian set up and they are very nice indeed. The can easily be based as a terrace. The ground floor option with the archway isn't available anywhere else to my knowledge either. They're certainly not too big.

I've been looking into terrace houses for a 7TV board.

This is an excellent set of responses, thanks guys.
The Sarissa ones look very interesting, and a reasonable price. I still reckon I'm looking at £100 plus to get a deceny looking table for IHMN, but you've given me lots to think about.
