For the size of building imo, yes.

But partly depends on wether that is the entranceway to a whole warren or just a single building.

Thought was single buildings…

For a hangar type building, it looks OK but for a standard door, it looks too big.

Agreed – probably wants to be about 2/3 the diameter.

Any way you can drop it down?

Otherwise it's point of contact with the ground seems too small to move through anything big enough to justify its size. Unless Anti-grav is prevalent and everything will "fly" through the opening.

May be if I take 20-30% off the bottom so it looks like an inverted U more than a circle?

What's the door for?

Is it too big for a blimp?

No.

It is too big for a mouse?

Probably.

Which brings up the second point:

How big is the building?

The squares are 1cm and planned to be used with 15mm figures.

They come from Dan as part of this thread TMP link

Hmm, then it probably can't be much smaller, but the building's a wee one – maybe storage or something, as it can't be more than 20 feet across.

If you plan to texture the building, you could cut down the size of the door by adding a jam around it. Just roll out a ribbon of putty and lay it down on the door, effectively cutting it down to size. Then when you texture the building you can hide the seam.

Approximate dimensions of the hexes:

64mm x 51mm x 24mm

So, if you go by a formula of 3mm = foot, then you are looking at a structure that is around:

21ft x 17ft x 8ft
