20mm 00 scale Hornby Buildings for WW2?

This is an 00 scale (1:76 scale, 20mm is 1:72 scale) pre painted Hornby Skaledale railway model building and I'm thinking of using a couple for my Operation Sealion project to show rural England, what do you think of them, as far as I know you can't take the roofs off any of them, there is no internal detail but I think they look alright if they're a good price and the first building should always be a pub.

What are you having?

20mm figures for scale purposes.


The good old Masons Arms



Have a good weekend, on holidays next week so posting may be a little hit and miss but I should be able to visit your blogs.

    Lovely little house, and very british to have the piping on the outside of the house...here in sweden that is quite impossible...would freeze in no time...

    Was there an actual pub called the Masons Arms? Great detail work on the square and compass, by the way.

    As for me, I'm having a pint of Red Trolley Ale. Cheers!
