"New Battlescale Buildings available in North America" Topic

Battlescale are great buildings and The Wargames Company gives great customer service.

Wow, free advertising. "Recommended for use 6, 10 and 15mm". Well that is quite a feat!

OK, a building scaled to 6mm is not going to look right with 15mm figures. Unless, of course, you are using 6mm with all your 15mm figures. So if you are trying to match to fit your existing buildings, you can't just make a sweeping statement that it will fit 6, 10, and 15mm.

I'm sure the quality if fine. But how is a customer supposed to know how it matches up with their existing buildings?

Great! Thank you for the clarification. It wasn't clear on the website either when I looked, but I'm glad the measurements are listed somewhere.

How can a 10mm bulding ever work for 15mm? That's like saying 20mm scenics work great for 28mm. They don't. They look absurdly out of scale. Cheers!

10mm buildings are closer to ground scale than 15mm buildings, unless you actually play at 1"=8 feet groundscale.

And they're not so much smaller that a standing troop is looking into the 2nd story windows!

The very first time I put on an American Revolution game, I noticed that a full regiment in line could hide behind an HO scale barn.
It's that "ground scale/figure scale" thingie, particularly if your figures are at 1:20 ratio.
I'm perfectly willing to use 20mm saltbox Houses, particularly since none are available in 25/28mm.

Doing smaller scale games, like 1:1, is the only time I get fussy.

Guys,
I ordered four destroyed Battlescale buildings from The Wargaming Company a few weeks ago, and received shipment of them promptly (w/email order confirmation/update), and all arrived in good shape. These 10mm versions (all battle-destroyed examples that'll work with a WW2 Bulge game I'm planning), were clean cast in a pinkish resin, and with little flashing (just some trimming required within a few of the window recesses). Here's how some of them look painted up, and with white pigment dusted and spray affixed on the top surfaces for a snowed-on look. Models displayed in one of the pics below are 1/144th/12mm scale. The doorways look well sized next to the figures. Very pleased with the quality and detail of these castings, and how they came out.

Primed in the raw

I always go about half down for buildings, unless they are representing more than a few buildings- depends on the rules- this is my example of 6mm terrain, using small 6mm buildings, which are really more like 4 or 5mm.
