Quick 'resizing' of buildings
« on: August 21, 2010, 05:02:38 PM »
I have always liked the HO buildings made by railway modelling companies, especially the continental framed houses, they really have character. I have never used them with my 25mm figs as they looked too small.

On the Kingdom of Wittenburg blog I have just seen all the author does is make bigger doors on card and glues them over the exisiting doors. It will not work in every case but for SYW it looks fine and means a good looking town of several buildings can be squeezed into the space 2 or 3 buildings of 'correct' scale. It looks like a sizeable settlement not a hamlet.

And you can often pick these kits second hand, already made, at decent prices.

which we are doing all the time at THS

HO railway model buildings are very differently scaled
the newer ones are quite big and often do not need rescaling at all.

Besides, buildings for 28mm wargaming are almost never original scale, as they would be too big. Having them a little smaller doesn't really hurt

here You can see a garage that I remodelled to fit 28mm cars
and below the original
