It used to be that these little houses were only sold at Christmas time, but now they often have summer and spring versions. They are also getting a bit larger in scale. They have done that by making them thinner but taller. Which works out fine on the wargame table because it takes up less space but still looks big. I repainted this one and it looks a lot better.

What scale are they? I didn't see anything in your blog that hinted at the size.

They are pretty nice. I've seen one that could even pass as a Hobbit house.

Much more attractive without the snow! Thank you.

Thank you Sgt.

Lou from BSM they are about 1/72nd scale, the doors maybe a bit tall for some but how bit is a door? They are sold as decoration rather than as models the the scale is not precise, which I think adds to the charm and pre-industrial look of many of them.

Yes, nn, I got a couple of those!

I don't like snow much on buildings, model or real ones robert!
