Anyone know of a good source for 6-8mm Scale buildings
« on: June 15, 2011, 07:05:27 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 do some very dark future buildings that possibly may be of use.

Gamecraft Miniatures do some paper/cardstock terrain.

JR Miniatures have some sci-fi buildings you could use.

Timecast Models do some fantastic buildings but no skyscrapers, they do have the fantastic Stalingrad Grain Elevator though.

Navigator Miniatures also sell some modern scenery, including the JR miniatures line.

Simply 6 do some basic modular buildings.

Germy has some : 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
