Dystopian village on the cheap...

[Geudens]

Don't get me wrong: I like the SG resin buildings, but I wanted some more variety and... it worked out cheap as well.  I bought a job lot of Monopoly houses & hotels on Ebay (you can get a mixed lot of 100-150 for around £ 10  ).  A little work with Corel Draw and I ended up with a number of different houses - large & small, be it in just 2 sizes.  But I'm not complaining.  Some of the remaining stuff will go to creating a barracks & warehouses for the port and I have a church in the pipeline.

An overview of the village (I included some unpainted SG models for scale purposes).  This is about what you see, viewing from +- 40-50cm from the tabletop:

And some close-ups (great thing was I even didn't have to paint the small details...):

that's interesting!

What scale are they? because they look a bit too big for a true 1:1200!

I suppose you're right.  "Scale" is somewhere around 1/800, but since they will only be used on strips of coast, they don't look too much "off" on the tabletop.  You could make them in true 1/1200 scale, but the roofs and chimneys would look rather out of scale and there wouldn't be much detail to print, hence my solution.
