Those tile AB linked are beautiful but expensive. A cheaper alternative are the houses from various Monopoly games. They can be bought on eBay. auction auction Al |

Irregular do 2mm towns, villages etc. and they're quite good for what they are. Don't let some of the ropey paint jobs on the page put you off. irregularminiatures.co.uk |

There are 1:700 building sets that are used with waterline ship models. Houses, industrial buildings and harbour piers etc Plastic kits manufacturer is Sky Wave or Pit-Road . I use them also to bomb with 1:600 planes :) |

Phil: it will not be small? the Hind commander also uses ground forces, so i fear they will look oversized near the buildings Allen:Yes they are also sold by Picoarmor i think |

Pico (ozzy – I forget) has some 3mm houses (including burnt out homes), warehouses, and multi-story buildings. I use them for ACW naval shore installations/towns, but they could work for almost anything. |

Pico Armor's urban areas are crafted from Monopoly houses and hotels. I talked with Mr. Pico Armor at a convention about this very thing. |

Take a look at Skytrex's 1/600th WW2 coastal stuff: link There might be a few warehouses, oil tanks etc that might come in handy. |

Outside of the ideas offered above – the naval ranges in 1/600 or 1/700 are probably your best bet for modern buildings – the only thing I can think of is the small range of buildings tucked away in the ACW 'Hammerin Iron' range, No. 7, by Peter Pig in the UK – might be something there in the form of the farm or warehouse type buildings for a bit of variety, perhaps

My brother-in-law and I have started using paper buildings. We get them from the following website: paperterrain.com/. They come as 6mm scale but can be reduced down to 3mm scale without loss of detail. They are pretty awesome looking; especially if you want the ability of having ruined buildings also. |

They do also have some 3mm-1/600 dirt roads,rail tracks and villages too, link Robert 1-600th Miniature Aircraft Wargaming Yahoo Group link 3mm-1/600 Miniatures Yahoo Group link |

there are 1/700 buildings put out by Pit Road/ Skywave that are nice & can be found on Ebay but are pretty expensive – there are always monopoly buildings and buildings from the game of Life – also all over ebay |
