Buildings for Rapid Fire in 20mm... what do you use?
« on: 08 November 2022, 02:45:30 PM »
Hi,

I have been prinitng mostly Dark Age figures on my new toy (a resin printer) but the other day I tried some Germans and French in 20mm and they look much better than anything I remember having in my old Rapid Fire collection from a long time ago. This got me thinking why I moved over to 28mm and Bolt Action.... I think it was because I could scratch build a house far easier in 28mm.
Looking at the forum I can see stunning 20mm figures and vehicles so its still being used-what do you Guys do for buildings? Does anyone make their own? Is mdf the easiest route?
I use 5mm foamboard but it seems clunky for the smaller scale... any tips or ideas would be very useful as I am getting a bit nostalgic for my old favourite set but have no terrain.

Thanks in advance.

Scour model railway shows & pick up damaged/badly painted kits.
If missing half the building (dat's why dey is cheap) I scratch build
a ruined (attached) building. Base several on placemats picked up
cheap from Charity shops, to give a town block.

Thanks,

that may be the best way of collecting a few of these together. In fact will have a look on ebay now. Thanks for the tip
