Painted Test! Normandy Buildings in 15mm

[Abwehrschlacht]

You don't need any advice from me, these are amazing. I love the realistic look you have achieved.

Thank you!
Meanwhile, i've shipped as evaluation pieces my facades to 15mm.co.uk. We have to discuss about the terms of the collaboration, and nothing is certain yet, but it's a start I've send them together with my 15mm scifi stuff: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=73175.30

Cheers

Great stuff
will they work for 20mm?

It might, if it's true 20mm. However, the floors are 35mm and 30mm tall, which is not that much. I'll take some pictures tonight, although the three facades in the photos are now shipped to Scotland and i'll have to use other casts. ^^

Thanks
My stuff is AB 20mm
As true as I am aware of
Would the 15mm stuff work perhaps?

I'm not sure i understood: The model is meant for 15mm models, and the pics show them in scale for comparison. I have some SHQ scottish soldiers, i'll use them for a comparison. I've been using warhammer round bases that are a few mm thick, so they will look definitely taller... I'll see what i can do.

Sorry
What I mean is would the 15mm stuff work for 20mm figures
Probably not I imagine?

The point is, most of the buildings for wargaming are WAYS smaller than how they should be. Most of the 900 buildings are HUGE next to a human, especially the "government" ones.
So, if those buildings were in right scale they could easily work for 20mm as well. But i think that my buildings are meant to look nice for 15mm, and a 20mm man could look a bit... huge.

Here are a couple of pics with 20mm SHQ miniatures for comparison. I've used a 2.5 mm balsa base below the building to compensate the GW base i chose for the scottish brits.





Hope that helps,

Jack

Thanks Jack
So those are 20mm figures next to 28mm or 15mm buildings?
Sorry if I am being dim....

20mm figures, 15mm building.
The door is clearly a bit short for them, but beside of that they scale relatively well.

Yes they work very well
Thank you
Will Fenris stock them?

I'm afraid they won't. Ian is now pretty full of work and projects with his upcoming kickstarters, and i really hope he'll do well. But he can't invest time and money in this project, i'm afraid.

I want one!

[Sangennaru]

I want one!

As soon as i will find the right company to produce them! ^_^

Meanwhile, i started another version of the small facade. The idea is that having two variants will allow to use more facades together. Two IDENTICAL adjacent facades won't look nice, but if they are alternated it will be much better.




Ideally, for each facade i will make two variants and a second-floor-destroyed variant at least, maybe two. That's a lot of different pieces!
