Anyone know where I can find pictures and dimensions for Chinese houses? I'm just starting on building my own terrain and I want to make a Chinese village for my figures to fight over. I spent a few hours digging through google, but I couldn't find anything useful.

Aren't they pretty much like houses everywhere else in the world?

Lot of rain falls in southern China. So the buildings for rural villages would be mainly single story and small buildings. With a couple of building being larger, and maybe a two story building or two. Tile or thatched roofs. Mainly tile I would think. So no flat roofs like the Middle east.

Large towns and cities are much like modern middle east cities or cities in South America, with very poor housing around the outskirts of town.

Ok, I was thinking that they might still use some of their ancient architectures, but I guess that's only for the really old buildings. Keeps it simple at least, this is the first time I've tried making my own terrain and buildings.

Now I can't decide if I'd rather build a marine force a PLA one first... I actually really like the camo on chinese troops, even on wave 1. But then again the super cobra...
