Anyone know any source of modern terrain? Specifically things like mobile homes, but the only source I know of right now is the small line carried by armorcast so Ill take anything really

Id also take companies not directly related to wargames but scale modelling in general. I searched some model train sites and didnt find anything. Surely in some crack of the internet someone makes mobile homes for train enthusiasts?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Not sure if all of this stuff is armor cast, but check out ebay store player's cove. I know they had some shantys in there.

Think it's under accessories, and then terrain!

Search for terrain for Pulp Miniatures, Superheroes and Modern/WW2 Warfare.

Also look for O scale (1/48, still popular) or S scale (1/64, quite rare) Model Railroad scenery and vehicles (most Corgy etc are 1/64). This is probably the best and biggest US website for this:

Thanks for the help. Reading it seems O scale would be close...it's just hard to tell without seeing it in person.

What scale do you think, comparing a guardsman to a car, would be slightly smaller? Smaller, as long as it is minimal, is fine, slightly too large is not in this case. It is for a display so I dont mind it being off in the direction of too small if I have to go one way or the other.

Check out the Miniature Building Authority for high end prepaints in 28mm and 15mm scales.

Guardsmen have no consistent scale, being heroic (meaning distorted). Ultimately only eye judgment can decide what looks right. Some people even use 1:35 models for 40k, even when nominally double 40k "scale" (54mm vs 28mm). For cars you also have realistic models in the correct 1/56 scale by:

BTW forgot Fenris Games as supplier of modern terrain ranging from telephone booth to Humvee: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Fenris-Games

More sources if you consider buildings and terrain from history still standing.

BTW if you have anything specific in mind but don't want to reveal it in this thread, you can always PM me.
