These look good, and I want to use them with N-scale Mechwarrior clix. germy.co.uk/paper2mm.html If so, how please? I'm not much good at figuring it out! |

I'd try them out at 6mm first. Just print them out (with no scaling) and see how they look next to some mechs. |

They are 6mm. I would think N scale would not be a problem. Probably just doubling the print size would do the trick. |

Doubling should scale them fine – but you will want to look at the print outs to ensure that they haven't pixallated badly in upscaling. Shrinking paper buildings down nearly always works fine, but make them bigger can make them look a bit ragged and blocky. |

The germy buildings are nice, but I can save you a bit of work. If you need some good buildings that scale well with mechwarrior clix, go
here for a set of buildings originally scaled for battletech but have been resized for Mechwarrior: link here for heavy Gear buildings not exactly scaled, but they work well : dp9.com/type/papercraft Here for very preciesly 10mm designed Urban builings, (mostly multistory) and streets for Hawk Wargames "Dropship Commander" game. link I haven't built the Dropship commander buildings but I have the others and they work quite well with Mechwarrior units. link link |

To answer your question, yes they can be scaled up. Just cut one out and start from there. I have built plenty of germ's buildings in 6mm. I also recommend the Heavy Gear buildings. I have upscaled (to 15mm) and down scaled (to 6mm), and they work fine. |
