Having given the lad a few assorted types as part of the general scenery he showed an interest so I set about making up specific groups of buildings as sets: a farm, a small village and a small town (where he reaches the river and its bridges), leaving him to produce the simple military buildings for bases and airfields if he remains interested.Ī 'small farm' needs at least five or six structures. The world is a very cluttered place other than in very open country and it is surprising just how many buildings you may need. This should ideally have a staircase for access. Multi-storey buildings are common, so it helps if you include a removable inner floor for the upper storey. Remember that for houses with shutters hinged windows open inwards. Buildings for wargames should have removable roofs so that figures can be placed inside, also the windows work better if the lower panes of glass are broken or the window is modeled open so they can be used as firing ports. These notes are just some points I have not seen mentioned elsewhere. There are several websites detailing the making of wargame buildings, most of which seem better than my efforts.
