How do the Grandt Line S-Scale pieces line up against 28mm figures (or are you using 20mm?)?

Had a few hours spare this weekend to get on with some modelling...

This is where I quit reading.

I'm not worthy.

I second that ... we're not worthy! Awsome display of skills, wish I could do half as good!

What an utter pile of crap!

Brilliant work PM! Great design and execution. We need confirmation there's no chance the puppy will get to your builds, that wouldn't be good.

Every time you build something you inspire me to add something to project. My missus will be so pleased! I'll just blame it on you. Sorry.

I've been using Grandt S scale pieces such as windows and doors on my 28mm builds and they work just fine.

Thanks for the comments.
I've found the more buildings i build, the quicker i get ( practice i suppose) and can get the shell up in a couple of hours.
I tend to use the "S" scale shop fronts because the "O" scale stuff from Grandt Line looks massive. The door opening on the "S" scale is 35mm high which looks bang on for 28mm minis but the "O" Scale doors are 48mm high which looks way too big.
I will be making "Faux" interiors for the shops ( as per my other buildings) as I find "indoor" gaming with these size buildings a little impractical. I intend to have a "proper" playable interior in my upcoming "Hunt club" Headquarters building ( which I am actually planning rather than building as I go!!!)
I should get the roof finished and some paint on it this week although I am sharing my hobby time between this and some post apocalyptic "Road Warrior" type cars.
BTW the pup is no real threat to my stuff at the moment as he's too small but he has worked out how to use the stairs so my hobby room door is secure at all times!!!!

Regards
PM

You really should have gotten all those builds turned into model kits. Would not come cheap, but be worth getting...

After a bit of a gap in modelling due to work I thought i'd better finish my shops!!!!

I decided against lighting them but have done faux interiors for each shop.
Hope you like them:
