Question - Flames of War / Team Yankee terrain and 1/72 figures

[Redmao]

Hey folks,
I was wondering if the prepainted terrain pieces and buildings from Battlefront's ranges could fit with 1/72 plastic figures?
Would they look too out of scale?

Thanks

It depends. I own the older desert buildings and they work fine for 1/72. I also own the dirt roads, cobblestones and railtrack and they work so well that I have ordered more. I like it when my buildings are to scale. I do not own any of the newer buildings. If I look at the new Factory building for instance, I can see a BMP-1 doesn't even reach to the top of the door. Sure, a 1/72 soldier might bang his head (or not), but visually it should work I think.

In the end it's mostly personal taste though. Take a 1/72 model to the shop and ask if you can put it next to one of the buildings. If it works for you, then why not?

Edit: Just checked a review and the factory is 4cm per floor. Which is exactly the same as I used when I made my Middle Eastern houses for 20mm.

I intend to use their 15mm figures/tanks, and HO Scale building kits.

You will find H0 scale to be hit and miss with Flames of War figures. There is quite a bit of variation in door- and windowsizes from company to company, and from period to period in which they were originally manufactured.

HO/OO can be either 1/72, 1/76 or 1/87 -- the first two look wrong with BF figures.

I've been buying 1/87 railway buildings and they're slightly out of scale but not so much you'd really notice.
