Just finished some 28mm scenery that fits nicely as 15mm (cryogenic chambers to futuristic cars!). See them below:

Does anybody know of other useful pieces of scenery that transfers across the scale boundaries?

Floor / space ship / dungeon tiles can tend to work pretty well. They just become bigger corridors. I've run 15mm games on space hulk and star wars floor tiles and it worked great.

Fantastic. I have some of them too. Will be doing the same. I have found a lot of 28mm Greek ruins with pillars look better in 15mm scale than their intended 28mm. Some of GZG old 25mm scale drop ships look better in 15mm.

Various robot figures can make good wreckage, construction bots and whatnot in 15mm.

Of course, you can take figures and use them as statues :-) We used to use the old plastic space marines painted grey as statures for Epic games.

Trees, hills, rivers and streams, wadis, rocky outcrops …

Foxgamer – I really enjoy your 15mm page. It's excellent.

Foxgamer21 Aug 2015 2:47 p.m. PST

Many thanks Lysander, I'm glad you enjoy it!

I had a bunch of those too, but they went into my Dwarven Forge Clone terrain set and then i sold it. (2 each of the actual DF sets and about twice that amount of home built tiles. I really need to get started on the 15mm set again)

Don't forget your local petstore. Lots of great alien terrain in the aquarium section :)

I think that the Old Crow dropships work OK for 15mm, even though they're nominally 6mm. (They go from platoon-sized to squad-sized)

I've used a lot of 28mm fully-armored or robotic minis as battlesuits in 15mm.

And there's that Confrontation Titan Dragon, looks even more intimidating when you're talking about 15mm heroes standing against it!
