First, NOT MDF, please, resin very greatly preferred. Looking for a cathedral and a palace as stand ins for Notre Dame and the Tuileries (and a bastille, too) to create a game table version of 17th century Paris for Dumas style musketeer game. MUST be in 15 mm but doesn't have to be an accurate full scale replica, but suggestive is good. Something to represent a period appropriate bridge across the Seine would be cool, too. Appreciate anyone who can point me to such things. And, again, please, no MDF pointers. |

Have you considered using floorplans? I use them in my musketeer games. |

That'd be a lot of resin. A full size Notre Dame scaled for 15mm figures would be at least 18" by 3' and 18" high. The Tuileries would be 8 or 9 feet long. |

What about the flames of war church? |

VonTed, I googled flames of war church and that looks like it might work – if I'm seeing the same thing you are. Swampster, don't need full size, a caricature is okay. Full size in scale would be crazy and cost prohibitive. majormike, floorplans work, I'm sure, but I prefer 3D. Thanks for the input – and I welcome more ideas. EMW |

Usborne(sp?) card medieval cathedral is on 15mm and very big too. About £5.00 GBP martin |

Martin, That might be workable – though HO is actually bigger than 15 mm might quite a bit. But if the card is scaled down a bit it might work. Thanks for the suggestion. EMW |

Many HO structures are actually compressed, so that features such as windows and doors may be scale sized, but the floor plan is smaller then the prototype. If you are willing to accept oversized windows and doors, the floor plan of an HO structure might work for a smaller scale. |
