Title: 15mm Scale Sci-fi Nissen Huts from Britains Pig Huts!
Post by: ironmammoth on September 05, 2011, 01:47:02 PM
I just put together some 15mm buildings for my sci-fi game. Very quick and easy...

Let me know what you think!

Thanks!

As for the bases! Sand painted a mid-brown, leaning towards chestnut. Then various autumn coloured scenic scatter materials, from both the Hornby range and the Woodland Scenics range.

The upright storks are cut from an old broom and the scatter stuck to them is described as "Poppy" although it is more of a purple than poppy red!

Brilliant idea!

Do you reckon they would do for 10mm as well?

Yes the would work for 10mm, you might need to make different doors, but they would work well for 10mm. I think they are too small for any larger scale than 15mm, although they might work as the tops of air raid shelters for 20mm. Smaller scales would be fine though...

I considered getting some more to use for 6mm, to use as hangers for some fighters. Haven't done it yet but it is certainly a possiblility.

I would say that
