Dapol's a model railway company that retails OO gauge models that can be used for wargaming in 1/72 scale. Here are a few examples (actually, about half their suitable range)
These are actually unpainted plastic models. They can be used for games set in western Europe from the 1940s. Actually, I find them somewhat soulless, but they are quite cheap (these 4 cost me less than 40€, including P&P) and you can keep the roofs loose and place figures inside. IMO, a good way to get started, like me, on your 20mm terrain. |

I have the church, I was told that this is an ex Airfix kit. |

I have the church, I was told that this is an ex Airfix kit. They all are. Quite iconic aren't they? |

They were originally sold by Airfix, and the mounds were passed on to Dapol (along with what used to be called the 'Trackside Series' of kits). |

Certainly the two half-timbered buildings are ex-Airfix – I remember well making those two about 50 years ago. |
