Looking to do some Star Wars gaming in an Endor/Yavin setting and a Tatoonie setting. Show me what you're using and maybe some suggestions where one can buy some terrain (buildings/structures) in the US. Thanks |

I, being me, would start with a trip to the grocery store and turn food packages upside down to imagine them as the basic shapes of buildings. Mushroom containers, tofu containers, salad boxes, yogurt cups, and even the box for hot rotisserie chicken have all appeared on my 25mm science fiction table. Mm… rotisserie chicken. I should have stopped at the store on my way home from work. |

Foam blocks, with half-dome styrofoam glued on top would work for many buildings/homes. Coat with watered down PVA and sand, and then paint white or sand color, as desired. The PVA will help protect the surfaces. Modge Podge mixed with paint, or watered down will apparently work too. Lots of images on-line if you do searches. |

"turn food packages upside down" Then hit them with stone-textured spray paint (I think it's still sold somewhere), instant buildings… ;-) |

Also look at those funky cardboard packing inserts -- turn them upside down, and if they had doors and windows you're either seeing Cairo or Toshi Station. |

If you have a 3D printer or a friend with one then there are a lot of great ones on Thingiverse if you just search "Star Wars Buildings" I printed about 10-15 for one of my friends for about $20 USD in PLA. link link link link Hope those help. |
