Italian front terrain help!

[Sir_Theo]

I want to put together a collection of affordable and suitable terrain for Italy and I'm on the look out for any suggestions, 28mm as a preference.

For buildings im leaning towards Hovels Spanish stuff as I can use that for a potential Penninsula project further down the line. Any other places people could point me to that I should be checking out?

The Italeri 1/72 stuff. Works with 28mm. Easily converted. Looks the part.

I second the Italeri buildings - they do fit 28mm but good luck finding the country houses as they do now seem rare, and expensive when discovered

I got some 20mm stuff made up by this seller on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/tinned-fruit and it looks OK with my 28mm. I wanted buildings that would pass for generic "Mediterranean" so I could use them for Spain, Italy or Greece.  There is a picture here https://sites.google.com/site/tringwargames/features/chain-of-command-italian-campaign/final-game.

I have some 25mm Medieval Hovels and they are very small, I'd say they were nearer 20mm height wise, but with a much reduced footprint. Also you cannot take the roof off to put figures inside.

As for what terrain to get, I gave this quite a bit of thought when I started my 20mm WW2 Italian collection, as I wanted it to also pass for the Balkans and other areas. I've gone for a few plastered buildings with red tile roofs, some tall plastered walls with tile tops (for use in villages/villas/farms), some low rough stone walls (for countryside) and some scraggily hedges and trees, nothing too lush.

For crops I made up rows of vines from some railway sets I picked up on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JTT-Scenery-Products-Grape-Vines-Pack-of-24-for-00-HO-Model-Railway-/371548247493?hash=item56820055c5:g:m0EAAOSwgQ9VmWeZ and got some 15mm wide-spread trees to act as olive groves, I went for these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12-x-15mm-sculptured-trees-suitable-for-flames-of-war-/201530926741?hash=item2eec2de695:m:m3LVLM03ldRfDtbVCx5n7zQ . Like I said everything is aimed at passing for the generic "Mediterranean" look rather than being too specific to one region.

Have a look at the Grand Manner web site? The Spanish terrain doubles up well?

Empress also has Spanish themed stuff that would work really nicely.

The Warbases Modular range is cheap and cheerful and ideal for generic Mediterranean buildings
