What Terrain?

[dampfpanzerwagon]

I'm building up a set of terrain pieces for a Napoleonic Russian campaign - 15mm/28mm scales. So what pieces of terrain should I be looking to build. I am particularly looking for something unique - not just a copy of something already available to buy.

Current suggestions are a church - a windmill, a bridge.

Any suggestions?

A river with floating ice and a frozen bridge

Moscow, one of the many churches or one of the more unusual village churches equally there are a lot of unusual village houses that are not covered by what is commercialy available.

A small Russian peasant farm/hamlet or perhaps a noble's hunting lodge.

A dacha

A village bath house set near a watercourse?

There is a lot of marsh land and swamps in Belarusia.

What about a cemetery?  I'm currently reading the memoirs of a major in the Middle Guard who describes many features in detail.  He was particularly taken by the cemeteries,  which he describes as circular, with no boundary enclosures, ringed by closely planted trees. The grave markers were a mix of stone and wood, often painted, and with notes from friends and relatives attached pertaining to the character of the deceased.

I undertook a similar project earlier this year:

These all align to an earlier more generic Eastern European project:
