The choice of location and the space that you are going to give to this village is the first step: in a living room (your lounge for example) - Ideal for the whole family to enjoy - or in a secondary room - if you want to make a large village.
Next, you will need to determine the scale appropriate for the space you are going to give to your village. Here are some common scales and their ideal installation spots:
LGB Scale = 1/22.5: this scale is perfect for a village installed on the ground, at the foot of your tree, or in a secondary room. Its larger size makes it more noticeable and detailed.
HO Scale = 1/87: this scale works well for a village installed at the foot of your tree, on a piece of furniture, or a plywood board. It strikes a balance between detail and space efficiency.
Scale Z = 1/220: this scale is ideal for a village installed on a piece of furniture or a plywood board. Its compact size allows for intricate designs in smaller spaces.
