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
