If going with 1/144 scale armor which do you think would fit the best on the table? 10mm or 15mm scale buildings?

10 – 12mm. You could use N gauge model railway buildings. If UK models they will be at 1:148 scale. If Continental European then 1:160 scale. Both would be fine.

10mm for me. 15mm would be too big: I generally go a scale down on buildings in any case.

Great…thanks!

Always to to the smallest scale terrain which doesn't bother you.

Model Railway buildings can be pretty expensive in this scale, unless you find a deal.

Check out previous postings on the subject of 1/144 buildings – Google search for TMP, and you'll see some links for free, paper buildings.

Of course, you could make your own, too.

Some 15mm buildings that run small work, but you probably need to see them in person to tell

I'd go with the smallest you can get away with, tbh, 6mm would work fine. I use Time cast 6mm buildings with my 15mm stuff…

My list of 10mm Useful Wargaming Manufacturers. hope it helps.

As always, comments are appreciated.

A great source, especially if just starting out, would be Scott Washburn's Paper Terrain. You get a big bang for your buck with his 10-12mm. I have long admired his stuff at shows and now that am ready to flesh out my 1/144th seriously thinking about getting some of his packs.

Definitely not 15mm; try Battlescale 10mm or even their 6mm.
