Yes it is true that Piko(and pola) buildings are about 1/22, but they do provide good structures for those of us who DON'T model the old wild west. What lit up my board is that they made a nice 2 story building that is perfect for building a small town USA style circa 1930/1940s. They are up to 9 of those building now making about 2 more per year. So after colllecting them along with other Piko buildings and a few Polas, I have been able to build a nice sized town [^] <br /> <br />[img]http://gold.mylargescale.com/GN_Rocky/Downtown_1.JPG[/img] <br /> <br /> The kitbashed water tower is half Piko. It was built out of a Piko fire watch tower and a Aristo water tower. So what you see in the picture was done for less than $1000, perhaps closer to $800 at mail order pricing and that's not bad concidering the size of the town [;)][:)][^] The only thing missing here is my kit bashed station and speeder house which were modified wood kits [;)]
