It's not everyone who matches his car and house. When it's time for the termite inspection he gets a two for one deal.

@Galen55   I would be interested to learn where you find your architectural models.  Is this house in kit form and is it to scale (1/43)?

@gdh I buy damaged buildings from local model railroad shows because I only need to show one or two sides.

@galen55   Thank you.  I'm still searching for kits and they are not plentiful in Germany in any scale, unless I want an oversized dollhouse.

@gdh I have seen buildings like this in a hobby shop I sometimes visit. They are made of plastic, assembled, and painted and are 1/48 scale the same as American O-scale  trains. I believe it is from a a company named K-Line, which is no longer in business. If you search the internet you can find many buildings in 1/48 scale, kits and assembled. Model buildings in 1/43 scale will be rare, since this was not a model train scale in US.

@ed-davis   Thank you for the tip.  My search supports your statement regarding 1/43 structures and I would be interested to find 1/24 scale buildings, which I believe corresponds to 'G' scale.

@gdh G-scale, which means Garden scale, would be better referenced as G-gauge with its 45 mm track gauge. Since the same track is used for both narrow-gauge and standard gauge locomotives and freight cars, the actual scale can vary. US standard gauge locomotives running on 45 mm track would be closer to 1/29 scale. I have seen 1/24 scale items used on G layouts and they look OK. I believe you will find useful items available on the internet.

One other thing, when I first saw a post about a little refreshing mint, I thought you would be talking about some chocolate candy I like.

@ed-davis  Yes, there does seem to be a bit of a 'spread,' in relation to G-Scale/Gauge, as illustrated in this depiction from my files.  Thanks for the follow-up.
