Looking for 15mm German Freikorps era buildings, prepainted, with lift off roofs. If no lift off roofs, then at least prepainted. I believe Orange Scenics will work, but are there others? Thanks! |

You might have a look at some of the HO scale buildings by European manufacturers. Some of them are really beautiful, and I think they look great with 15s. They tend to be expensive. I got mine on the "previously-owned" table at my local hobby train shop and fortunately for me they were cheap because they were in bad shape and needed a lot of recovery work. Because they were used pieces, I did not see the names of the manufacturers. I used mine in my Germany 1945 Gallery surrounded by 15mm ruins (mainly by JR Miniatures). You can see them in pics 2, 25, 31, 32, 55, and 61 at link |

Thanks, War in 15mm. I'll take a look at some HO stuff, but I am worried they might be a tad too large. 15mm is supposed to be 1/108 scale, so going as large as 1/87 might be pushing it, or no? By the way, you have an excellent website. Really like all the things you have worked on in 15mm! |

15mm is generally considered to be 1/100. Quite a lot of nominally 1/87 HO 'European' plastic buildings are actually closer to 1/100, especially the older models. |
