Title: Anyone know of a good source for 6-8mm Scale buildings
Post by: Rabbitz on June 15, 2011, 08:05:27 AM

Hi there,

I am looking for some 6mm - 8mm scale City buildings,   Skyscrapers and the like.   Card-stock or otherwise.   To be used with Battletech.

Does anyone know of a good source?

My google-foo is failing me.

Cheers all

There are these from Microtactix in "N" scale, which might be a little bit too big:

or, if you are really serious, there's a program which lets you make your own cardstock stuff in any scale from 1/10  - 1/300. $45 dollars though......

If it wasn't so expensive, I'd have bought a copy myself  :(

I've got a few links that may help, I've never seen any of these in the flesh though so not sure how good or bad they may be.

Gateshead Gaming (http://www.gatesheadgaming.co.uk/6mm.htm) do some very dark future buildings that possibly may be of use.

Gamecraft Miniatures (http://www.gamecraftminiatures.com/shopping/Category/96-cardstock-series.aspx) do some paper/cardstock terrain.

JR Miniatures (http://02a7218.netsolstores.com/) have some sci-fi buildings you could use.

Timecast Models (http://www.timecastmodels.co.uk/buildings_catalogue/buildings_catalogue.html) do some fantastic buildings but no skyscrapers, they do have the fantastic Stalingrad Grain Elevator though.

Navigator Miniatures (http://www.navigatorminiatures.com/) also sell some modern scenery, including the JR miniatures line.

Simply 6 (http://www.s6engineering.co.uk/smallscale.html) do some basic modular buildings.

Germy has some : http://www.germy.co.uk/paper2mm.html (http://www.germy.co.uk/paper2mm.html)

Heavy Gear do different style paper buildings for their games. You might have to rescale to end up with 6mm :

I'm not into this scale at all...but have been seriously tempted, by the sheer quality of OLD CROW MODELS

Jup, Old Crow has excellent stuff...well cast too! I used it for my Martians. You can find some of my pictures in Ancible 3 in my FWC Martians article:

Probably the wrong time period but Dave Graffam's models all come with the option to re-size them down to 6mm
