I'm very (very) tempted by the Jackson Miniatures Raven Square station building, but their website lists it as being 1/24th scale. How does it look with 16mm?

Jackson's Miniatures Raven Square

Spud, the building is designed for 16mm/G scale. It's not to 1/24th scale. The building uses JML's 1/24th scale doors and windows but the structure itself is 16mm/G scale. The window size isn't so much of an issue because there is no right size for a window - they very in real life. The door is a bit of a problem because it is rather short for 16mm/G scale. This has been overcome on our other kits by raising the door and using a step. But unless you place a scale figure next to a door it's not really noticeable. I don't get many comments about the doors and I receive many compliments about the windows.
