Can anybody help me identify this piece of terrain?

Hello everyone.

As will become apparent ad nauseam as I post more frequently, I'm trying to expand into having as much cool terrain as I can to fit into my Gaming Boudoir, especially Wild West and Victorian.

I've been looking all over for terrain ideas, and I recently found Pic Interest, which I feel is quite a useful resource, if its referencing is not quite as good as I would like. I found this picture:



It could be an entirely scratch-built diorama, but, I rather like it. Does anyone recognise it? If there's a kit for it, I'll buy it.

Lovely piece. Looks handmade to me though.

[Dim_Reaper]

Yeah, it's what I feel too. Got to try though!

Yeah, the roof tiles look like they've been laid piece by tiny piece, not cast.

Is Pic Interest the same as Pinterest? Can't seem to find "Pic Interest" on Google. I'm always looking for pictures of other people's terrain as well, so sites like that interest me greatly.

99.99% sure that's scratch built. There's an orthodox church piece on the top, totally different scale and style, that indicates someone bashed this out of all kinds of great things.

Have you googled the picture to find it?

Looks 20mm to me too. The miniatures don't look like 28s.
There are railway people in some of these pics

Something about those refugees makes me think of Battlefield / Blitz miniatures....

I found the picture on Pinterest (thanks for the correction the Rhoderic).

Thanks everyone. You all have picked up on things I would never have noticed. Tis a shame. I'm pretty inept when it comes to terrain so kits help me cheat. Will just have to get better at it I guess. Or find something else.

It's available, though (in H0 scale):

See catalogues for details and prices. (The gate alone is 60e if you care about such mundane matters.)

Oh. I... I was wrong, then. I have dishonoured myself...

I also stand ashamed!

Crikey, well fished! Although H0 scale is, if I understand it correctly, a very small scale, the same scale as train sets. That's probably a bit too small for the 28mm stuff I was hoping it would work with.

HO is 1:87, 28mm is more like 1:56, so waaaaay too small.


"What is this? Terrain for ants?"

[Mr. Peabody]

HO kits can work very well indeed for 20mm (1:72 or 1:76) projects. A lot of HO stuff isn't really true to 1:87 scale.

Just another reason to give in to the 20mm temptation!

Well, you reserved 0.01% chance for a commercial product so you can use that as a defence. Poor Rhoderic, however, has no other options than performing seppuku.
