I'm looking for some set dressing for some French farmhouse terrain. Can anyone direct me to a good source for farm tools in 28mm? This is the type of things I'm looking for, but I've only found it in 1:35:

Spears.

Bend the tip down, it's a hoe.
Cut a bit of paper and glue it to the tip, is a shovel or a spade.
The long stick is a good tool.
Pitchforks are a little harder to add to a spear.
You can get military scythes and threshers (Oriental warriors use them).
A rake is easier to convert than a pitchfork.

'S' gauge model railway suppliers might be worth a look. 'S' is a rare gauge/scale in the UK but I understand it's more popular in the US. Alternatively you might find a 4mm model railway company who will scale up a brass etch for you. Some of these small businesses are very helpful like that.

S is 1:64 scale.

Thanks for all the leads! Those thomarillion packs look perfect for my needs. Will have to sort out the overseas shipping…

Thanks again!
