Hope this helps answer a few questions of how based 15mm figures compare to HO scale structures, though I'm not entirely sure who made that plastic model: link The main model is a based 15mm Rebel Mini, but the final picture in the album shows a Khurasan figure between two Rebel Minis. Thoughts on the comparison? NOTE: Apologies. Some of the pics are not entirely in focus. Also, for some reason, Flickr (or is it TMP?) is not making it possible to post the photos directly onto the thread. Dan TMP link

I use HO scale buildings with my 15mm stuff a lot. Don't know why some find that a problem. I even mix in some scratch built buildings…

Same here i don't have any problems with mixing and matching 15mm, HO scale or even N scale buildings on the same gaming table.

For skirmish/1:1 figures, too large (a building) is better, imo, than too small.

if the figure wasn't on a base you might notice that the door was very tall compared to it , but this looks fine . thanks for pointing this out . lots of HO buildings out there

Looks good to me. The scale creep of many current 15mm lines, plus the height added by the bases, plus the compressed nature of many HO scale buildings results in pretty good compatibility. It's even better with industrial buildings and structures which are even less scale-dependent.

Even without bases, 15mm figures seem to blend in well with HO structures, figures and odd items as I demonstrated a while back on the book of face.

Works well for me, thanks for the pictures Dan :D
