I rather like underscale buildings. It might be partly nostalgia but also as a compromise between ground scale and figure scale. Anyway I much prefer a village with 2 small houses to a single big one.
Mind you, I'm surprised that none of these soldiers have stopped for a beer!
Yes indeed, smaller-scale buildings usually work better. I never understood those wargamers who want their buildings at the same scale as their figures, except perhaps for skirmish games.
I use buildings designed for 28mm figures for my 40mm and they look okay I think .

Undersize buildings do seem to look "right" somehow - are they Irregular Miniatures figures?
ReplyDeleteYes, 42mm Irregular from their Balkan range.
