Hi all just wondering if anyone has any ideas what might work for generic sci fi terrain in 54mm/ 1/32nd scale. I am building a star wars game looking for inspiration
cheers! |

Do you have or have friends with a 3D printer – heaps of free SF terrain files out there. Otherwise, just look at photos and pick models you like, get some balsa, mdf and pine, chop up a bunch of pieces and glue something together, coat of auto filler/undercoat then paint to suit your ideas. If you find 'how to' articles on terrain for 25/30mm figures, just double the sizes if given. A lot is going to be driven by your preferred genre – Burrough's Barsoom, Dystopian (40K) or whatever. |

Check out the many postings on the Lead Adventure site. Lots of stuff there. |

Pet Stores sell many interesting pieces of aquarium decor that might work for you: derelict equipment, classical pillars, ruined temples, etc. Some can be pricey, and they can be heavy, making them somewhat challenging to transport to games off-site. |

thanks everyone sounds like scratch building is the way to go. I imagine 3d printing buildings might get a bit tricky but certainly for scatter terrain its a great idea I've got a few bits and pieces of packaging that will work well at this scale many thanks everyone |
