I'd like to tap into the hive mind for some tips to get a more 'lived in' looking battlefield. I've got some farm animals, piles of stores like barrels or crates, telegraph poles, road signs and one or two other things. I recently found tucked in the Warlord pages for the French army some nice commercial vehicles - like trucks and a coach that look very useful. Yet still I yearn for more. Some stuff seems to be around designed for 1/48 diorama building or O Gauge railways but is it right, scale wise? does it work?
So the stuff I'm thinking of...
- transport such as bicycles, motorbikes, hand carts or cars
- agricultural items that would be lying about the farmyard from ploughs to wheelbarrows or tractors to implements like rakes or scythes
- urban stuff; street lamps, trash cans, street traders' handcarts, phone and post boxes (for 1944 Italy or France).
Any thoughts gratefully received ...
