Folded card buildings will sort it. Road games dont need anything fancier.

might have to use my googling powers tomorrow night after work..

They're selling downloadable printable buildings in OO and Z scale- for S scale (1:64) you'll have to enlarge OO 118% when printing.

various horror(ish) buildings, shrink/ increase size to need (free)

For roads, fine grade sandpaper should work well.

Never really understood people using H0 structures with this kind of stuff though- all the one I got would be far too small (though they're older and there might have been a bit of scale creep there as well).

There are all HO scale, worked pretty well for me

Nice buildings will have to see what I can find locally as international orders are not cheap for terrain...

Not a lot of buildings in the Mad Max movies, especially during the car chase/combat scenes.   

[Lord GreyWolf]

true, a petrol station or hamburger outlet...

might have to see if I can find some of the Mad Max movies.

What other movies would worth while watching?

I like the Death Race movies, the original one and the remake (plus sequels) all have good stuff for car combat fans.   The latest sequel, Death Race 3 I think, has the race moved to a desert environment which is pretty neat.

Now, I'll very freely admit none of these are Great Films and deserve tons of awards or kudos for fantastic acting, but they all were fun to watch and had some very cool vehicular mayhem. 

[Lord GreyWolf]

fantastic acting in a Vehicular film.... does it ever happen?

I think the cars out act the actors in those types of movies...ok off to find some vehicular movies to watch on my days off.

the cars ARE the actors!

speaking of terrain what companies make good 20mm roads and buildings for post-apoc settings?

I have never gamed in 20mm and now I need some roads, obstacles, buildings and what ever else is out there.

any one got some good sites?

I don't know about roads, though necromundicon has a great tutorial.

For buildings, HO scale looks fine alongside 20mm. This is especially true for industrial buildings which tend to have large windows and doors anyway.

Converting/kitbashing Hot Wheels and Matchbox toy buildings is an option too. Right now Toys R Us has some playsets with possibilities in their "Fast Lane" store brand.
