I'm interested in 1/600th, or smaller buildings, for modern aerial gaming, and would like to know what's available, other than the ones sold by Pico, and Fight's On? I'd also like to know if the ones sold by Pico are metal, resin, plaster, etc.? I primarily need large city buildings, and manufacturing plants, etc., to represent industrial and population centers, to serve as strategic air targets. Thoughts? |

I took at a look a Brigade Model's recent ostensibly 1/1200th building range in the context of other widely available small-scale buildings over at my Blog – might be worth a look: link Certainly, the Industrial set from Brigade might fit the bill for you: link part of their land ironclads range…. |

The Brigade buildings are a good deal and are quite varied. All are metal. If you like a more country look then Irregular does some nice 2mm stuff too. I think the ranges are actually 1/900. They don't fit well together but the Brigade stuff is more modern and city like while the Irregular is more country like. Can't give you a link from here at work but it's easy to find. |

I own the Pico ones. They are plastic for the monopoly style and resin for the others. No metal that I own. I like them. I have mounted several of them together on thin basswood to make small town segments. Thanks, John |

Mr Mako, We have added the Brigade Games line of buildings. While they are 2mm, we are using them to build urban blocks. We are striving for a forced perspective, so the smaller scale actually helps. Thanks,
John

Dear Mako,
I found this company in the US: link Amazing variety of buildings, trees and scales and good service to.
Cheers,
