This weekend I completed a little ruined Dutch cottage to whet my appetite for the forthcoming exciting range of 28mm WW2 Dutch figures by May '40 Miniatures.
I spotted this Airfix model by chance in a half-price sale at a local model shop. I nearly walked past, because it was 1/76 scale – way too small for 28mm miniatures, I thought.
But the architecture of this model kept drawing me back to look at it. It was just so like the little brick cottages I had often ridden past on my bicycle during my trips to the southern Netherlands to visit extended family.
Then I noticed that the model didn't have a floor, so it might be easy to add a foundation to the bottom of the walls, and so heighten the front door. Maybe, just maybe, this could actually work with 28mm miniatures after all?!
You can see the results (with a description of how I went about it) on my blog here:
