Just getting into this scale/era, can anyone point out some reasonably cheap buildings, preferably with interiors and ideally in the UK, thanks

Mad Mecha Guy should be worth a look.

+1 for Mad Mecha Guy.

Also GZG for metal colony buildings and shanties, plus doors, windows, vents, satellite dishes and so on to kitbash buildings from bits of plastic packaging, cardboard boxes and styrofoam.

If you look in Hobbycraft they do a range of small cardboard hobby boxes for decoupage. They come in square, circular, rectangular and hexagonal shapes and are ideal for cheap colony buildings.

You can also turn Really Useful Box small collapsible crates into very effective buildings with just a little work:

Welcome to 15mm…

I have never ordered from mmg…but admire his wares….the scene UK has some shanties…and gzg.

Across the pond it is gamecraft miniatures…impudent mortal, and crescent root studios….

But more are out there

If you are in a Do-It-Yourself state of mind.
I have some pointer on my old web site:

thanks chaps, strangely and probably stupidly on my part I don't really like MDF stuff much preferring resin for scenery, with that in mind there doesn't seem to be a great deal out there Brigade and Ion Age seem my main (UK based) options and neither provide removable roofs which I would certainly prefer.

Gamecraft has resin, and blue moon miniatures has some too.

In the UK old crow has some. But that path can be hit or miss….he's busy working on a certain movie chain…. but has some of the nicest cast minis in resin period.

Try this out from the scene …. all resin :)

Mike has lots of figures and vehicles as well in metal

Scotia Grendel do resin buildings. They list them as 28mm, but they look perfect for 15mm

that's a good idea I hadn't though of looking up a scale, how do the doors look against the minis as they are the only really scaled feature that would matter?
