Woops should have said that the t34's are the project I finished eh? I've had them since 2003, shocking eh?
Yep John the buiding kits are mine, the one behind the t34's is the L shaped European building kit. There are a few various styles in the background and a Kestral N scale church which I converted to 1/100th scale
Cheers

How do the train gauges work with 15mm stuff?
is HO about 1:87, N about 1:150, something like that?

Flames of War is supposed to be 1/100th scale but it's a bit off I think. The vehicles are ok but Infantry is a little larger than it should be imho.
HO gauge is 1:87 and OO ('Dublo') gauge is 1:76. Aaron has a model railroad church that sees a LOT of action on our Flames of War tables...from memory it's an OO scale Dublo building but I could be wrong. Maybe it's N scale, Aaron? At any rate the belltower has a removeable roof and the flat tower roof is large enough to hold a small infantry base (so guess where Snipers end up)!
Did you make your buildings to any 'official' scale Kim or just eyeball them against the FOW figures?

That's an interesting point. What I've seen of the vehicles, they are very well scaled, but obviously the figures aren't quite; overscale weapons and what have you. I thought my men looked a bit big alongside my carriers, but then again I'm still trying to get my head round how small these carriers actually were in real life. I've found plenty of pics of them without crew, it's not till you see one with crew that realsie just how small they are.

Yeah funny eh. About as big as a jeep, except of course it's all cabin space as the engine was mounted centrally (I think)?

yep, I think that's the engine in the middle. One of those reference sites mentions the original philosophy was to give each infantryman his own armoured mini-vehicle to help break trench stalemates.
