Just came across these toy houses while browsing at the Rite-Aid around the corner from my house -- They were so cheap, I couldn't resist picking one up to give it a try. Normally $7.99, they 50% off so I picked this up for $4: uploaded a few pics here:
link The scale seems pretty close for 20-28 mm models. I think with a bit of work, they could be useful. Also come with some small plastic furnitures and and plastic palm tree too! I also found this one ceramic, Christmassy one for $10 USD (half-off). I probably won't use it, but my wife collects these for her xmas set up so I picked it up anyway. link |

We might have to AK47-inize a set of those. Thanks for the heads up! |

Ok, Just did a coat of black spray paint, and a couple of minor 'repairs' to the house. Here's a few more shots with an airfix 1/76 Pz IV and a couple of 1/76 plastic figs for scale: link |

When I first looked at the houses I thought no way. however, I was impressed with how well they do work. Thanks, John |

Reminds me of a cartoon I once saw that the evil bad guy came in and stripped all the colors away leaving only shades of gray. But they do seem easier to work with now. |

Do they come rubbled too? hehehe |

Rathicus:
No, they are not sold in "rubbled" form. However, you could let my two kids play with them for about a half an hour and get the same effect! (Including the stripped paint.) |
