Hey all, Who all makes good 20mm scenery and buildings (mostly buildings) for WW2 and or Modern wargaming? Thanks, Fozz |

May be worth having a look at some of the German plastic HO scale railway stuff if you are looking at the European area of operations, Tally Ho! |

Lancer miniatures is a good place to start… |

I do, for myself that is.
Let's see.
Buildings. GrandManner
Hovels
Is it the rapid fire bloke who does the oosterbeek buildings?
The church is amazing. HUGE but amazing. Revell – especially if you do Italy. I think quite a few of the buildings down the club are aimed at 15mm. The ruined church in particular. |

Faller/Kibri/Pola…all much of a muchness and often cheap on ebay, but sometimes incredibly expensive – possibly to do with the rarity of specific items. Also the Airfix-dapol stuff, which is generally much cheaper. We've got buckets of it (maybe 50 or so) which we will be pensioning off soon since we won't be doing 20mm Europe any more, but unless your in the UK the postage would be prohibitive. Cardboard railway stuff looks nice, but tends to get squashed/split/creased. Hovels ruins are great if you wnat ruins and – mostly – not very specific to a theatre, so we can use most of ours in 20mm Burma/Malaya games perfectly adequately. |

Miniart just started a line of 1/72 WW2-suitable buildings. They have a wide range, and are cast in colored plastic so you could field them unpainted if you want. Lots of really nice details like window frames, lintels, and drainpipes. They are all red brick with terracotta roof tiles: good enough for France or Italy. But the funny thing is that more than anywhere else, they just scream Shanghai . . . Too bad there are no good 1/72 Guomindang or communists . . . |

Don't forget the Armourfast Plastic Farmhouse kit and the wooden buildings for the Eastern front by Pegasus Also the Airfix ruined Resin Buildings that can be obtained fairly cheaply in sales by Modelzone |

Indeed the HO scale stuff works great, and I do have a bunch, I need to get more of the Faller/Kibri/Pola stuff, its great. Looks like Italeri makes a lot good stuff now too. Thanks for all the input and the pics, seeing other peoples layouts and games really inspires me. |

Lots of good bunkers and suchlike at Frotline Wargaming. Also beds, baths, pianos, etc. for bombed out buildings. |

Probably a bit pricey to get them posted from here – though apparently not as expensive as getting things posted form the US to the UK. |
finds a personal connection to WWII.
