A question of scale.

 Been looking at the farm with different sized figures today-

Firstly with 60mm semi flat Scouts.
Next with 28mm eighteenth century bandsmen.

Fifty four mm toy soldiers.
Finally with 40 mm Elastolin figures.

I feel the farm would work really well with all scales of figures shown above. I am delighted with such versatility.

  1. Works well with them all , I quite happily use 28mm buildings with 54mm figures.

  2. These do seem to work with many of these larger scales as backdrop or building

  3. I have had the EM4 farm for a number of years and often use it with my 54mm Toy Soldier or Napoleonic collections. it is pretty big for 25mm.

  4. Yes, it works well. I have been very surprised with a 28mm figure put next to a 15mm farmhouse that I have just built.

    1. Smaller scale buildings work well with figures in my experience.

  5. They all look very good alongside the buildings Alan.

  6. Unless using a ground scale of 28mm = 6 feet, any building is likely to be the wrong size. At a common ground scale of 1" = 25 yards the ground area occupied is a long way off. Vertical 'scaling' ia obviously off in all cases except 1:1 and that goes the for the figures too. So really it all comes down to the' look of the thing' and I thought all the permutations looked ok.
