I'm afraid that I have to completely disagree with what you're saying. Firstly, NO-ONE has ever suggested for one second that the buildings are anything but 1/35th scale. If you were talking about a vehicle kit where the scale 'tolerances' are minimal, I could understand your argument. The size of (real) buildings and their component parts - windows doors etc, vary considerably. So, your argument, interesting as it is, has no basis in reality...

Hi Felix,
There are clever ways that you can adjust things in your dio to solve any scale issues between figures and your building.What seems to be the problem?Tall doorway and windows?It would be handier if you posted a picture of the figure and building to see what adjustments could be made.
Cheers,Shay

hI Felix, Building sizes [windows, doorways ect.] are not the same worldwide and timewise[ eras] Ive been a brickmason/stonemason for over 40 years and worked on two continents and on building s from the 11 centuary [a village church in england] to 75 story skyscrapers here in houston. believe me theres a world of difference between structures down tho, the ages. As far as im concerned Miniart building are spot on in their size, they just seem bigger because they are bigger[being vacuformad plastic] than their plaster counterparts, you get more of it. [more bang for your buck, so to speak] I F you let me know your specific problems ill see if i can help you.
