Looking for buildings with a small footprint for my 15mm ACW troops. I'm using large scale rules where a stand = a brigade, so towns, buildings are abstract and more for show. I don't see much in 10mm, that would probably be ideal. Anyone know of a source? Perhaps even microscale. |

We used Fiddlers Green card building from their New England range. Printed out at N gauge they work really well for both 10 and 15mm. Cheap to by and make and with a little help look great on the table. link |

We've got a pack of 5 10mm buildings, code PS35 on our website:
There's also the pre-painted Epsilon buildings we stock:

Another option….. When I'm gaming with big units I use undersized buildings so a town is not just two houses. But it means my troops tower over the houses. Still I prefer this look. For a recent 6mm game I made 3mm paper houses (see photo at bottom). For my ACW I bought a couple packs of the ACW house sets from Pico Armor/Brigade Games. I think these are billed as 2mm but this way my town base of 3" has a dozen buildings not 2 and gives a better overall look to the table, at least to my eye. These are still WIP but you get the idea. The bases are 4" square.

Just FYI I now own the line of buildings previously known as Starfort. They are sold under the name "Between the Lines" miniatures on my site. crackerlineminis.com Thanks, Bill Moreno |

Have you thought of checking out model railroad buildings (N scale)? |
