I picked this up used a couple years ago. The guy said he got it at one of the big cons, from an Italian company. Anyone know the name or if they are still around? I would love to get more. He said they had some great sci fi stuff. I use this for my Venusian jungle board for Warzone.

The jungle trees look like they might be the old GW plastic jungle trees, repainted.
The sandbag terrain piece looks like the old GW/FW foam terrain piece.

The jungle trees definitely are the GW jungle trees. I have heaps of them from early Tau kits.

The other trees that look like conifers are probably Woodland Scenics as known and loved by railway modellers for 30+ years.

The sandbag emplacement could be from anywhere. Any number of companies have done that basic kidney shaped sandbag wall over the decades.

I have no idea where the buildings are from but they look awesome for Venusian or some other alien sacred site.

I want to say that the buildings are from a plastic Mayan play set that I saw a few years ago, rather than being intentionally made for terrain.

I remember looking at it in a discount store and thinking 'those would look great on a tabletop'....

The Auld Grump

Yes the trees and bunker are GW. I meant the buildings. They are card board terrain. The original owner said that the maker had a bunch of other styles and types and he got these to use with his lizard man army. Supposedly it was an Italian or European company. I've never seen anything else like them. I love them, deffinately awesome quality terrain which is why I would love to find out if the company is still around :-)

Forr paper/card terrain, try here:

I searched for: Maps/Terrain - 3-D Buildings/Terrain
Nothing came up straight away, but try getting in touch with them to ask if they know what you have.

I think I know the company you mean; we used to have a load of their Sci-fi stuff. Unfortunately, they went out of business a decade ago or more. Can't remember the name.

It was all thick card, semi-gloss finish and pre-cut.

I have the right and left pieces, but not the center one. They're super solid and great terrain pieces. I have no idea who the company is (I threw away the packaging many years ago unfortunately).

That's paper? Good looking stuff, I was about to say it must be aquarium terrain.

Yeah it's heavy stock card. Awesome stuff.

If it is the stuff I'm thinking of, it was all pre-cut, carefully designed with slots and tabs so you could assemble a lot of it without glue. We had a huge sci-fi tower/landing pad; about 2' across and the same high. It was excellent for Infinity, but because it was so fragile, it wasn't suitable for club use. :(

I hve that ziggurat myself. Never put it together, but it's an impressively large piece! I spent quite a while years ago looking for more. The company's been out of business for a long time.

I don't suppose you can tell us who they were? Just out of interest, so I can perhaps track down what else they made. They also had a three-storey inn, with attached stables, about 12" square.

Sure. The company was called 21st century games. They were based out of milan, Italy. The ziggurat kit was "cod. 14.1" and/or "14.2" ( both numbers are listed) of their "game 3-D accessory" line. Or at least that's what the instruction sheet says. Don't have much more information than that. I think I bought my copy about 15 years ago? Might even have been 20. In any event, the instruction sheet has A physical mailing address but no URL listed, so it was early Internet era at the latest. I spent a fair amount of time trying to find more of their sets in the past, but gave up years ago when I never found them anywhere.

I had visions of using it as a centerpiece for a Slann-themed table.

I haven't put it together in that long so I probably will never get around to it. If anyone's itching to get one, feel free to drop me an offer via PM. I don't believe I have the original box it was in, but the set has never been put together ( or even punched out) and it's been stored flat and is in good shape.

Its a great piece if anyone wants one, I would hit him up.

Then scan it and post it so everyone else can make copies ;-)
