Hi! I'm looking for good terrain for a Fistful of Kung Fu game by Osprey Wargames. I'm specifically looking for things like a monastery, martial arts school, China Town market, Yakuza HQ, and basically anything from the examples in the book. EDIT 1: I'm looking for any kind of terrain type/made of any material, but for 28mm miniatures. The setting is very fluid, but is really made for 1930-now. |

I'm not familiar with the game. A) Is the setting Sci-Fi, modern/contemporary or earlier? B) Are you looking for cast pieces, for MDF or for paper/cardstock options? C) And for what size figures? Dan EDIT I found some answers to A and C here: link link link PS. A quick TMP search for "Chinatown" produced this thread here: TMP link |

And if you were gaming with 15mm, this wooden puzzle might be an option:
That suggestion was offered in a thread about Chinese buildings: TMP link There seem to be a lot of paper/cardstock options for Chinatown buildings nowadays. This one here is from Virtual Armchair General:
linkAnd there are others you can get for free. Here's just one such example:

Knights of Dice isn't cheap, but that is spot on in my book. |

The new Shophouses from Knights of Dice will complement your street together with the Jade Kingdom pieces. I'm collecting my first of those on Wed from a collaborative order. |

Knights of Dice buildings are VERY large for 28mm, they would even work with 40mm I think. I believe they are planning to update their older buildings with interiors in the future, so the larger size will make it easier move figures around inside. I have several of their kits and keep buying more for some reason :-) If DIY is your thing then foamcard, corrugated packing and a sharp knife are your friend. Many traditional Chinese buildings had very plain outsides, smooth walls with whitewash, tiled roofs (dark green seems to have been popular) with all the fancy work facing an inner courtyard like Caribe's post. Shops and temples were exceptions to this with decorated pillars, fancy doors and windows. You could do a search for photos or paintings of Old Peking or the Pearl River Settlements – white/grey walls and tile roofs. Unfortunately there are several Pearl Rivers in the world, just keep digging. |

Bsrlee is right. I've seen incredible pieces built using foamboard:
linkSame goes for using cork tiles.
Even cardboard:

Good! I'm really hoping someone can and the info gathering has been worthwhile. :) Also, here's a sample of work from the Master of cork himself:
