I am looking for some pre-made scenic elements in a 28-32 mm scale that would help suggest a Chinatown from turn of the twentieth century to present; can fellow LAF'ers offer any suggestions (trying to avoid scratch-build at this time)?

Foo Dogs are already accounted for BTW.

Thanks in advance.

Could you use Ainsty Front Street building fronts and then dress the street with billboards, Chinese lanterns etc?

Buildings I am not too worried about, it is more the street 'stuff' that I'm after, such as the lanterns you mention - anyone do things like that?

Grimm made some excellent lanter things from pearls. Let me look in previous threads...

Beads make easy lanterns.

Cheap Chinese Buddhas (Milofo) are easy to find too.

I wonder if there is a US distributor for these products. They are great, but his shipping costs are prohibitive.

I've got an additions set that would work at a pinch. Primeraly Japanese in design but you could get away with it

@nervisfr do you have a link to the seller of the buildings? I didn't see one in your post. Just one to the decorations. The building and arch are VERY nice.
