I'm looking for bits and pieces to detail a sci-if structure I'm scratch building. Is there a good source for these bits? US based is preferred. Thanks! |

Micropanzer has some resin greebles he casts, some doors and windows too I think. Dakkadakka came out with a game (maelstrom edge I think) that has an (IMHO overpriced) plastic sprue of details and at least one door. |

MBA has a building modernization kit that might help. Also armorcast sells tons of individual little sci-fi bits. And GW plastic kits are a good source of things like lights and on and on. |

Try Ainsty Castings, especially their Spy-Fi range as they have all sorts of neat resin bits to fill out a structure. But be careful, it is very easy to get carried away with their lines. |

If it's a sci-fi structure, keep your eyes open for found objects. Actually, keep your eyes open for found objects regardless of what sort of scratch-building you do. Fluted bottle caps can become HVAC fan housings. A golf ball can become a radar dome. Paper clips can be turned into window frames. Finely corrugated cardboard (like a Starbucks paper cup sleeve) can be made into sliding garage doors. Drinking straws can become chimneys or other exhausts, especially if they have a corrugated section. |

Antenociti's Workshop also has a bunch of detailing bits, though they're based in the UK. Warsenal carries most of their stuff in the US. warsen.al |
