Tall buildings, 28mm?

[.Per.]

Looking for multi-layer buildings, but want them tall, at least 3 floors high for skirmish game. Any ideas?

what 'period'- near future, scifi, zombie war etc?

Mini "milk crates" from the Dollar Store (or similar).  Get them in black and drybrush/spray gray.  They are stackable, so your buildings cna be as tall as needed.  Easy to chop up with a hand saw to make ruins.

Have you looked into the World Works Games buildings. With the sets you can build the building as many stories (within reason) as you want, so a 4 or 5 story office building or apartment complex is easily doable. Plus if you go with the new TLX sets you can easily modify any building you build on the fly, TLX offers greater modularity then the previous formats that WWG used, and they are slowly trying to convert the older Urban mayhem sets over to the TLX format, currently they have the Mayhem Armory converted in to a couple sets sets, the Armory its self, Apartments, Under Construction and Destroyed (both Under Construction and Destroyed aren't technically conversions but additions), you also have the Streets of Legend to give you your road tiles, and the newly released Mayhem Props to clutter the roads, sidewalks, and vacant lots with street light, road signs, telephone/power poles, mailboxes, trash cans. etc...

For Sci-Fi theres the Titan TLX sets, with I believe there are 2 or 3 off, and you can mix them with the Mayhem TLX if you wanted for a Near Future or even a Sci-Fi setting where they still have the "old" city.

If you want all the Mayhem TLX sets you are looking at roughly $60US for the 6 sets out right now. Not sure about the Titan TLX sets since I game Modern Zombie Apocalypse. A nice thing about the cardstock scenery is you can easily print off more, cut and glue as needed to get additional components or to replace damaged pieces.

Stackable file trays from office supply stores would make a good base to work from. these vary from 2" to 3". So would even scale up nicely as 8' to 12' floors per level. Build your building fronts on the open side.

I have a kitchen table and want to play skirmish games such as Necromunda at home. This means that I want to build on the height to get more playing surface and I think these games should be played this way: multilayers, bridges. 

Milk crates, will look after this at second hand stores. Will need some work, pimping and foam board but I think I can manage that. Like this one:

World Works Games...pdf-style not my thing. Sarissa precision had nice buildings, will thinik about that one...but I think I'm looking for multilayer sci-fi ruins.

Thanks for your feedback!

Even then, You can use them as templates to scratchbuild your buildings from the desired sheet material.

These buildings look really good. Modern buildings are not easy to find. When you finally do find them, they tend to be expensive, or shipping overseas makes them too expensive.
I'm tempted to try these out myself. Says "Free shipping over £30".

If you're up for the task, you can create your own buildings from CD jewel cases and a glue gun:

If you are scratchbuilding, apart from milk crates you might also consider packaging :

Never understood why the 3:ed floor always are like 2 inch wide.
Will visit IKEA for sure.

Last time we were in Ikea they had some plastic flower vases that look ok as power station cooling towers in 15mm or useful for SF buildings if you choose the coloured versions rather than white (and only £1 each)
